Ozzy recently cancelled his 2019 tour but has rescheduled for 2020 do to health issues. Mick Jagger is recovering from heart surgery. KISS's final performances are going down less than stellar with Paul's voice in pretty bad shape. Both Ozzy and KISS had called it quits 20 years ago but got lored back out on the road. Why? They surely do not need the money and they have nothing to prove to their fans. So what keeps these bands touring after all these years?
