“He had a little cut on his thumb. You know when you pull the side of your nail and he just left it. And then he hit it on a door,” Osbourne, 65, said. “It started to get bigger and bigger, and then his middle finger, the same thing happened … and Saturday morning we took him into the emergency room and what had happened from a tiny thing here on the side of his nail, it had turned into two different infections in his hand.”

The CBS co-host revealed Ozzy, 69, remains hospitalized as he continues to recover from the infection.

“He had to have this operation where they cut the side of his thumb and this [middle] finger and they had to get rid of the infection,” she said. “It’s been from something you think is absolutely nothing, he’s still in hospital today. It’s unbelievable. He’s on an antibiotic drip, two different kinds and he’s just stuck there… eating ice cream.”

“Thank you all so much for your well wishes dad is doing so much better,” Kelly wrote. “Nothing that some rest, antibiotics and of course his favorite ice cream can’t cure.”

This is not the first time Ozzy has postponed his shows due to his health.

He suffered from “extreme sinusitis” in January 2016 which led to Black Sabbath canceling multiple concerts in Canada.

In November 2017, Ozzy announced his farewell tour in a statement: “People keep asking me when I’m retiring. This will be my final world tour, but I can’t say I won’t do some shows here and there. I’ve been extremely blessed to have had two successful music careers. I’m looking at this final tour as being a huge celebration for my fans and anyone who has enjoyed my music over the past five decades.”
