CNN —British rock icon Ozzy Osbourne announced on Monday he was pulling out of the Power Trip music festival scheduled for October, citing persistent health problems that have plagued his career in recent years. The Power Trip festival, to be held in California, is set to feature some of the world’s biggest names in rock and metal including Guns N’ Roses, Iron Maiden, AC/DC and Metallica. Osbourne, 74, also nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, began his career as a member of groundbreaking metal band Black Sabbath. In the 90s, Osbourne and wife, Sharron, founded the popular music festival, Ozzfest, providing a platform for a new generation of metal bands such as Slipknot. “Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way,” he wrote at the time.

[1/4] The German share price index DAX graph is pictured at the stock exchange in Frankfurt, Germany, March 3, 2023.

European shares reversed earlier gains and were last essentially unchanged after modest China growth estimates suggested a possible dampening of demand for European goods. Emerging market stocks rose 0.64%. Benchmark U.S. Treasury yields continued to ease as dampening demand supported hopes that the Fed is approaching the end of its rate-hike phase.
