Ozzy Osbourne Predicts His Death, Says He Only Has 10 Years to Live

Did Ozzy Osbourne predict his death?

Osbourne opened up about his health battles following his back surgery. The Black Sabbath rocker has yet to return to the stage since he continues to recuperate from the issues he has been struggling with.

Ozzy Osbourne Says He Has 10 Years to Live

In his interview with Rolling Stone UK, Osbourne revealed what he thinks about his status and future amid his health conditions.

Osbourne's health issues worsened over the years after getting involved in a near-fatal quad-bike accident in 2003, which required him to have metal rods installed on his back. While facing Parkinson's disease, his injury worsened after a fall in 2019 that dislodged the metals inside his body.

"I said to Sharon that I'd smoked a joint recently and she said, 'What are you doing that for! It'll f------ kill you'.' I said: 'How long do you want me to f------ live for?!' At best, I've got ten years left and when you're older, time picks up speed!" he said. "I thought I'd be up and running after the second and third [surgeries], but with the last one they put a f------ rod in my spine."

Osbourne confirmed that his doctors also found a tumor in one of his vertebrae, requiring them to "dig that out" too. With all his back issues, Osbourne began having balance issues, as well.

Sharon Osbourne Emotional While Sharing Ozzy Osbourne's Status

Amid Ozzy's deteriorating health, his wife, Sharon, contained her feelings when she noted how heartbreaking it has been for her to watch her husband's illness worsen over time.

"It's just been heartbreaking for me to see my husband in a position where he's not self-sufficient, he needs help," she continued. Adding: "He was so vibrant, with such a zest for life. But you learn to adapt."

He underwent his latest neck surgery in September, but he and his family said it would be his last.

Per Sharon, Ozzy was on blood thinners so he needs to be careful not to fall again.

"It's like he's a piece of china and you've got to put cotton wool around him," she went on.

On the other hand, their son Jack predicted that he would not be able to tour again, though Ozzy could also pull off a show or two.
