Ozzy Osbourne has been upfront about why he is unable to embark on a tour in the quintessential Ozzy fashion, saying, “I’m nearly f***ing dead!”
After battling Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2003, and having seven surgeries in the last five years, the Black Sabbath singer joked as he disclosed specifics of his health problems. Ozzy, 75, has struggled to walk since he underwent surgery on his spine following an accident in 2019.
He said: “I went to the doctor’s and you assume everybody knows what they’re doing. My son Jack has a video of me going into surgery, saying, ‘I’ll see you in a few minutes’. I haven’t walked properly since.”
Ozzy also admitted to The Sun that too much blame for his disability has been placed on his Parkinson’s since the surgery. He explained: “I mean, when I came off the quad bike in 2003, I still did tours and I had Parkinson’s back then. It was THAT f*****g surgery.”
Ozzy, however, is content with his life and claims that he has no regrets and that if he could go back in time, he wouldn’t change a thing. He also acknowledges that his wife, Sharon Osbourne, has asked him what he would alter in the past, but he has remained silent because he has been having a great time. The family’s return to the UK has been delayed due to Ozzy’s persistent health problems.
On their family podcast, Sharon previously stated that they wished to go back “home” after years of living in the US. The Osbournes Sharon talked about their intentions to return to England, acknowledging that the plan has been in the works for years. Additionally, she acknowledged that the relocation will provide Ozzy with the chance to “live his life.”
“This is what I’ve learned: You can’t plan anything,” she remarked in an interview with Ozzy and their kids, Jack, 37, and Kelly, 38. I simply feel the need to return home.I want to allow your father to live his life. In England, we have greater freedom to do as we choose than we have here.
In an earlier interview with the Daily Mail, Ozzy stated: “We’ve been planning this for the last four f–king years.” After declaring his retirement from touring due to his ailing health, the chart sensation was forced to cancel a number of live performances star admitted that while his “singing voice is fine,” he was struggling with his health and his battle with Parkinson’s disease and “never would have imagined that my touring days would have ended this
In an earlier interview with the Daily Mail, Ozzy stated: “We’ve been planning this for the last four f–king years.” After declaring his retirement from touring due to his ailing health, the chart sensation was forced to cancel a number of live performances.
After having spinal surgery, he admitted in a statement shared on social media last February that he was “not physically capable” of performing all over the world. The celebrity acknowledged that although his “singing voice is fine,” he was battling Parkinson’s disease and other health issues, and he “never would have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way.”
