«Enough is enough,» proclaimed the legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne, now 74, in a statement that might be difficult for some of his devoted fans to digest.
Ozzy Osbourne, known as ‘The Prince of Darkness,’ has faced a multitude of health challenges over the years, but the recent ones have been particularly grueling.
Ever since his quad-bike accident in 2003, life took a downward spiral for the Black Sabbath singer. Then, in 2019, he endured another life-threatening fall, this time in his bathroom, which dislodged metal screws in his spine.
Recently, his wife, Sharon Osbourne, has shared insights into her husband’s health and revealed that the musician was preparing for another surgery that could potentially «determine the rest of his life.»
Ozzy, at 74, has now given a health update, discussing his most recent surgery to mend his broken neck and describing the past few years as «absolute hell.»
During an appearance on «Piers Morgan Uncensored,» Ozzy was asked about his well-being. He responded, «I finally had my last procedure two days ago. I can’t believe I’ve come to the end of it. The main thing is over now, I’m done with the surgery.»
He continued, «But it’s been five years of absolute hell for me and my family. The family has been so supportive of me. I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s been a really bad scene. I have Parkinson’s, but I never think about it.»
Ozzy’s son, Jack, clarified that many people wrongly assume his father’s fragile health is due to his Parkinson’s disease, but, in fact, the troubles began after the neck injury and the subsequent fall he suffered in 2019.
«I carried on working with it until I had a fall, and then it just, everything came undone,» Ozzy recounted. «I don’t gripe; I get on with it. If you are still moving, you ain’t going to be dead.»
On the podcast «The Osbournes,» the «Hellraiser» singer talked about his fourth and final neck surgery, saying, «It is gonna be the final surgery because I can’t do it anymore. Regardless of the way it ends up after tomorrow, I’m not doing it anymore. I can’t.»
Earlier this year, Ozzy announced the cancellation of his tours and informed his fans that he would be retiring. Since his last tour in 2018, the Black Sabbath singer has only performed twice at live events.
We wish Ozzy Osbourne good health and a comfortable retirement.
