BLACK SABBATH canceled its concert Saturday night (January 30) at the Rexall Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada just two hours before the sold-out "The End" tour show was supposed to start. Messages on the band’s official Twitter and Facebook feeds read: "Due to extreme sinusitis with Ozzy Osbourne, the shows in both Edmonton and Calgary [on February 1 at the Scotiabank Saddledome] have been postponed. Details regarding rescheduled dates will be announced as soon as they are available."

On social media, the band said tickets will be honored for when they return, while Live Nation noted: "Details on the date of the rescheduled show will be posted as soon as we have it confirmed."

Pauline Hughes, entertainment marketing manager at Rexall Place, said: "Nothing's cancelled — we're working on new dates. Hopefully we should have those tomorrow or Monday. If that date doesn't work out for people, I'm sure the band will work it out. Right now there's no refunds or anything until we announce a new date."

The first U.S. leg of "The End" tour will end on February 27 in New York City. Dates in Australia and New Zealand have been confirmed for April, with European festival shows taking place during the summer.
