Osbourne's two wins at the GRAMMYs come on the heels of his heartbreaking announcement earlier this week that he'd be retiring from the road.
In a statement, Osbourne said his body is physically too weak to get out on the road and that his touring days are over. Osbourne said he's working with his doctors on solutions to play shows without having to travel very much, and expressed thanks for his friends, fans, family, and Judas Priest for being the openers to the now-canceled tour.
