Ozzy Osbourne reveals Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and recovery from spinal surgery

English singer Ozzy Osbourne, in an interview with the British server Rolling Stone, revealed the news about Parkinson’s disease, which he was diagnosed with in 2003. He also confided that doctors had to remove a tumor from his spinal vertebra. Osbourne is suffering from a number of health problems, but remains positive so far, informed server Fox News.

The 74-year-old legendary rocker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease twenty years ago and has been struggling with a number of other health problems ever since. In a new interview with the British server Rolling Stone, however, he does not lose his mind. “I get angry when I read a newspaper that says something like ‘Ozzy is fighting his last fight.’ He sang his last ‘Paranoid’. You know, I don’t even think about Parkinson’s that much,” the singer admitted.

At that point in the interview, he held out his hands, and the reporter noted that he showed “very little evidence of the tremors” that are common in people with Parkinson’s disease. Nevertheless, he is aware that most of his life is behind him. “I told Sharon I had recently smoked a joint and she said, ‘Why are you doing that! It will kill you!” he recalls. “I said, ‘How long do you want me to live?!’ At best, I have ten years left, and as you get older, time flies.”

In September, the artist underwent spinal surgery to repair injuries he sustained in a fall in 2019 – his fourth surgery related to the incident. “It really freaked me out,” he said. “The second surgery went drastically wrong and practically crippled me. I thought I’d be fine after the second and third, but on the last one they stuck a fucking pole in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to operate on it as well. It’s pretty rough, man, and I’m all about balance,” the singer said.

Although Osbourne is still recovering from surgery, he is willing to perform again, but only if he can put on a good show. “I’m taking it day by day and if I can perform again I will,” he said. “But it was like saying goodbye to the best relationship of my life. At the beginning of the illness, when I stopped doing concerts, I was really angry with myself, with the doctor and with the whole world. But over time I thought, ‘Well, maybe I just have to put up with it.'”

Osbourne expressed his hope that one day he could “just play a few shows”, explaining that his fans have been “loyal to him for years”. “They write to me, they know everything about my dogs. They are actually my extended family and they are the reason we have the lifestyle we do. For whatever reason, it’s my goal that I want to work towards,” he explained.

“If I can’t continue to perform regularly, I want to be well enough to do just one thing where I can say, ‘Hey guys, thank you so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m trying to do, and if I end up dead on the ground, I’ll die a happy man.”
