Sharon Osbourne shares Ozzy Osbourne’s health update: “He’s like a piece of china”
Sharon Osbourne has shared a sad new update regarding her husband, Ozzy Osbourne’s health. Sharon revealed her true feelings towards Ozzy’s ongoing illness in a new interview.
In recent years, Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne’s health has taken a turn for the worse. After a fall in 2019, the musician has undergone a long run of surgeries due to the metal rods that were installed into his body following a quad bike accident in 2003 getting dislodged.
In 2020, the Osbournes also shared that Ozzy had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder that impacts the nervous system.
As an illness that worsens over time, watching her husband deteriorate has proven emotional for Sharon. “It’s just been heartbreaking for me to see my husband in a position where he’s not self-sufficient, he needs help,” she said. Adding: “He was so vibrant, with such a zest for life. But you learn to adapt.”
The Prince Of Darkness underwent another neck surgery in September but stated this would be his last and that he didn’t want to go under the knife anymore. “He’s had seven operations in five years,” his wife stated, “He was on huge amounts of blood thinners so you have to be careful, because if you fall again you could bleed out.”
“It’s like he’s a piece of china and you’ve got to put cotton wool around him,” Sharon Osbourne said, providing a sad insight into her husband’s health.
The entire family are on watch looking out for the musician, coming together to provide his care and still share their insights with the world through their The Osbournes Podcast.
Ozzy’s ill-health led to him announcing his retirement from touring, cancelling all future appearances earlier this year. While he says his singing voice is “fine”, it’s his body that seems to be failing him, much to the dismay of the artist.
He has, however, expressed that should things ever improve, he would love to be back out on the road. He told SiriusXM, “So, if I can ever get back to where I can tour again, fine.”
Adding, “But right now, if you said to me, ‘Can you go on the road in a month?’ I couldn’t say yes. I mean, if I could tour I’d tour.”
