High Expectations
As noted above, many fans were not surprised to hear that Osbourne would not be fulfilling his tour obligations, especially considering the ambitious schedule he had planned. Even if he were in perfect health, they remarked that a 71-year-old could not be reasonably expected to make all the shows Osbourne had scheduled.
Prayers
Many fans used social media to send out their prayers for Osbourne, often in the context of his own music. Osbourne's lyrics have often had a religious, spiritual or at least cosmological bent to them, and fans felt that this would carry him through his medical crisis.
Refunds
Twitter was also full of fans wondering about their ticket refunds — whether they would really get them and how long they might take. Some were still counting on a ticket they paid for years ago, and they were beginning to regret the investment.
Comeback
While some online were beginning to doubt that this tour would ever happen, others refused to even acknowledge that possibility. They posted self-assuredly about the comeback they wanted Osbourne to have when all of his medical woes are behind him.
"Don't give up... We are waiting for you!!!" one person tweeted.
'Strong'
Some also felt confident in Osbourne's recovery because of his unique persona. They tweeted about his strength of character, saying he would make a full recovery and be back at his prime through sheer grit if nothing else.
Promises
In the same vein, many fans addressed Osbourne directly, promising to wait as long as it took for his tour. They urged him not to rush out before he was well, because his loyal fans would understand if he needed a long rest.
Questions
Finally, some fans were curious about Osbourne's illnesses and his treatments, and they had questions about what is next for him. Those intimately familiar with the healthcare systems of the U.S. and other countries were particularly perplexed, but Osbourne's team made no official announcements about his treatments.
Osbourne's new album, Ordinary Man, will be available everywhere music is sold or streamed on Friday.
