Ozzy Osbourne’s Health Issues Explored: Black Sabbath Frontman Struggling for Years

Ozzy Osbourne currently deals with another dreaded health diagnosis after suffering from multiple issues in the past years.

Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne, is reportedly extremely worried after the singer has been diagnosed with COVID-19. She delivered the tragic news in the new episode of The Talk UK, saying that she was flying home after learning the news.

"I am very worried about Ozzy right now. We've gone two years without him catching COVID, and it's just Ozzy's luck he would get it now," she tearfully said. "It'll take me a week to get my old man back on his feet again, and I will be back [on The Talk] in a week... We're gonna get him a negative test by next week."

Although the Black Sabbath frontman received his COVID-19 vaccine already, the dreaded virus could potentially trigger the health issues he has been facing for years.

Ozzy Osbourne's Health Deteriorating in Past Years?

Before his recent COVID-19 diagnosis, Ozzy publicly shared his struggles with his health.

It all started in 2019. The 73-year-old "Mama, I'm Coming Home" hitmaker revealed to The Sun that he faced a tragic accident that dislocated the metal rods in his body which were inserted surgically in December 2003.

At that time, he got involved in a near-fatal quad accident. With the 2019 accident, he added 15 more metal screws to his spine, which were installed during the three operations he went through.

On top of the accident, the Black Sabbath frontman also suffered from other health issues, including pneumonia, flu complications, and a hand infection that also caused him to undergo another surgery.

After going through those issues, he expressed how lucky he is to be alive.

However, things about his health took a wild turn again when he was diagnosed with mild Parkinson's disease. Before the official diagnosis, he revealed in 2007 that he had a Parkinsonian syndrome -- different case compared to Parkinson's Disease but also causes the same symptoms and tremors.

But following his fall in February 2019, he found out that he has the mild form of Parkinson's disease already.

"I'm no good with secrets," Ozzy said after reports about his health emerged. "I cannot walk around with it anymore because it's like I'm running out of excuses, you know?"

Ozzy has since started taking medications and seeking treatments abroad to control and cure his health issue.
