Due to his flu, Ozzy Osbourne has to cancel a performance at Portland, Maine's Cumberland County Civic Center on Thursday, January 3. The show that also features Rob Zombie has been rescheduled to January 31.

A spokeswoman said that the original tickets will still be valid for the new schedule. He is also offering discounted tickets to his concert in Worcester, Massachusetts on Tuesday, January 8 for Portland fans. Those interested can go to Ticketmaster.com and type the password 'portland'.

Osbourne will resume his tour today, January 5 in Washington, D.C.

Meanwhile, BRIT Awards organizers have quashed the rumor that Osbourne will do a duet with Paul McCartney in the show. Despite reports that claimed Sharon Osbourne had spread the news to The Sun, a rep for the event said, "It is not true at all. Someone made it up."
