Ozzy Osbourne, the 74-year-old rock legend, has faced immense challenges over the past few years. Recently, he underwent his final surgery to repair his fractured neck, bringing some relief to his longstanding health issues.
The injury to his neck occurred in a quad bike accident back in 2003, over 20 years ago. However, in 2019, Ozzy suffered a fall that worsened his condition, leaving him in a dire situation. Reflecting on the past five years, Osbourne described it as “absolute hell for me and my family.”
During an interview on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Ozzy shared the news of his recent surgery, saying, “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.” Despite his Parkinson’s diagnosis, he remains resilient and doesn’t dwell on it.
There has been a misconception that Ozzy’s health issues were primarily due to Parkinson’s, according to his son Jack. However, it was the neck injury and subsequent fall that had the most significant impact on his well-being. Ozzy shared, “I carried on working with it until I had a fall, and then everything came undone. I don’t gripe, I get on with it. If you are still moving, you ain’t going to be dead.”
On his podcast, “The Osbournes,” Ozzy announced that the recent surgery on his neck would be his final one. He stated firmly, “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.”
The cancellation of his live comeback tour earlier this year saddened many fans. Chronic health difficulties forced Ozzy to retire from playing live shows, with only two performances since his last tour in 2018. Multiple tours have been postponed due to illness, including the Power Trip Festival.
Despite these challenges, let’s hope for Ozzy Osbourne’s continued good health and contentment. His resilience throughout the years is nothing short of admirable. Please share this article with your family and friends to show support for this iconic rock legend.
