Ozzy Osbourne Struggles with Health but Prepares for Final Concert with Black Sabbath
Ozzy Osbourne is facing health struggles due to Parkinson's disease but is preparing for a reunion concert with Black Sabbath. Despite mobility issues, he remains optimistic about his voice and life.
Ozzy Osbourne, now 76, is facing significant health challenges as he deals with Parkinson's disease, which has left him unable to walk.
On February 5, Sharon Osbourne, 72, spoke with The Sun about her husband's ongoing battle with the disease and expressed her excitement for his upcoming reunion with Black Sabbath for their final concert in July, marking a 20-year gap.
"He's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this," Sharon shared.
She explained, "Parkinson's is a progressive disease. It's not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body and it's affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it's ever been."
Ozzy commented on his health challenges during his SiriusXM radio show, saying, "I have made it to 2025. I can't walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I'm still alive."
He reflected, "I may be moaning that I can't walk but I look down the road and there's people that didn't do half as much as me and didn't make it."
Sharon also revealed on RadioX that he must work with a physiotherapist daily to maintain muscle movement, stating, "He's fine, ... as fine as you can be with Parkinson's."
Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2003, and following numerous surgeries, he is focused on improving his health and mobility.
During an episode of The Osbournes Podcast last year, Ozzy expressed his frustrations with ongoing surgeries. "Tomorrow I have my final surgery on my neck," he stated. "Regardless of the way it ends up after tomorrow, I'm not doing it anymore. I can't."
He admitted the physical toll, saying, "My feet feel like I've got bricks tied to them when I'm walking," but acknowledged that he needs to stay active.
The "Crazy Train" singer defiantly told critics to "f--- off" regarding his health struggles, assuring everyone, "I'm far from being on my last leg."
