The black series continues for the ex-leader of Black Sabbath: the British singer Ozzy Osbourne, which already accumulated
health problems, announced on Tuesday that he was suffering from
Parkinson.
“It was very difficult for all of us,” said Ozzy Osbourne, 71, of the diagnosis in an interview for a popular American talk show, “Good Morning America”, broadcast on ABC. “It’s not a death sentence at all, but it affects some nerves, with good days and bad days,” said Sharon Osbourne, present alongside her husband, whose career she also manages.
Trauma and serial illnesses
Fans of Ozzy Osbourne have been worried for several years about the tremors from which their idol suffers, symptoms compatible with Parkinson’s disease.
The heavy metal singer had to postpone all of the dates of his 2019 tour following a bad fall, which occurred at his home in Los Angeles when he was recovering from pneumonia, which forced him to have surgery. This fall had awakened an old injury suffered in 2003 in a serious quad accident.
Ozzy Osbourne has rescheduled his tour, the first dates of which are scheduled in North America starting in May. The septuagenarian rocker had already been forced to cancel concerts in Australia, Japan and New Zealand in February 2019 due to pneumonia, just a few weeks after having done the same in Europe because of a respiratory infection .
