The Prince of Darkness isn’t quite ready to reclaim his throne. Ozzy Osbourne reveals he’s undergoing another surgery due to injuries from a past quad bike accident.
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is facing yet another medical hurdle, as he prepares for further surgery linked to injuries from years past. Once the driving force behind Black Sabbath and now a solo icon, Osbourne has been plagued by health issues that have left him in significant discomfort. In 2019, a fall jolted the metal rods previously inserted into his body due to a 2003 quad bike crash. Adding to the weight of his medical burdens, Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in early 2020. Last summer, Sharon Osbourne, the singer’s indefatigable wife, divulged that Ozzy was on the brink of a “very major operation” that could “determine the rest of his life.” Ozzy later said he was on “a slow climb back” to recovery following a surgery that took place in June of the same year.

On the latest episode of The Osbournes Podcast, which premiered yesterday, Ozzy gave an update, revealing plans for his fourth significant surgery. “My lower back is… I’m going for an epidural soon because what they’ve discovered is the neck has been fixed. Below the neck there’s two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there’s nothing left of ’em,” he revealed. “All I know is right now is right now I’m in a lot of pain. I’m in a lot of discomfort.” Daughter Kelly Osbourne queried about a second opinion on the operation. Sharon responded, “[The doctor] said, ‘Look, we don’t know if it’s gonna work, if it’s not. We’re gonna second and a third opinion.’ And he’s doing that now.” Ozzy explained his condition: “Because what’s happening now… in my back, the two discs and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that’s why I lean forward as it’s like gravity is bringing my head forward.” “I was thinking when [the doctor] was saying it, ‘I’ve walked like that all my life’,” he added. Sharon, not to be left out, said: “I said to [Ozzy], ‘Why did you always walk like that?’ And he said, ‘I thought it was cool when I was a kid’.” The full conversation is available below for those wanting to dig deeper into the Osbourne medical saga.

In another setback, Ozzy recently had to cancel his headlining slot at Power Trip festival. “Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready [to perform] yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed,” he admitted in an official statement. The Prince of Darkness also revealed he’d had a blood clot filter removed from an artery. His family disclosed that Ozzy was “heartbroken” to withdraw from Power Trip. Though Ozzy announced his retirement from touring in February, axing his scheduled European and UK tour dates, he hasn’t closed the door on future gigs. “If I get OK today. If the doctor said to me today, ‘Oh, you can tour.’ It would take another six months to get it together, you know? The only thing I’ve got that keeps me going is making records. But I can’t do that forever. I gotta get out there,” he professed.

    The love of my life for the last 17 years was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease nearly 4 years ago, at age 52. He had a stooped posture, tremors, muscle stiffness, horrible driving skills, and slow movement. He was placed on Sinemet 50/200 at night for 7 months and then Sifrol and rotigotine were introduced which replaced the Sinemet but he had to stop due to side effects. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medications I took him off the Siferol (with the doctor’s knowledge) In March this year his primary physician suggested we started him on Natural Herbs Centre Naturalherbscentre. com Ayurveda Parkinson’s Protocol which eased his anxiety a bit, i’m happy to report this PD Ayurvedic treatment worked very effectively. His Parkinson’s is totally under control, he had a total decline in symptoms, the tremors, shaking, stiffness, slow movement and speech problems stopped. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you
