Ozzy Osbourne's plans to perform again might be scrapped amid his worsening condition.

In an attempt to ease the pain he had been feeling due to his past injuries and surgeries, Osbourne underwent another procedure which he called his "last one" as he could not do it anymore.

Ozzy Osbourne Might Quit Performing For Good

Osbourne recently spoke to Rolling Stone UK during which he shared his plans to perform live again. While he always wants to return to the spotlight again, his mobility issues might stop him from doing so.

"What's the f------ point in that? I'm not going up there in a f------ wheelchair," he said.

The Black Sabbath member was diagnosed with Parkinsonian syndrome before learning about his Parkinson's disease. The diagnosis and his back surgeries left him needing to rely on a wheelchair.

He used it most recently during an outing in Santa Monica, Calif., on November 14. He was seen using a wheelchair to move himself around while his wife, Sharon, helped him to get into it.

Osbourne disclosed that his worsening mobility issues were caused by the pain he had been feeling on his back.

"My lower back is, I'm going for an epidural soon because what's happening, what they've discovered is the neck has been fixed, below the neck there's two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there's nothing left of 'em," he explained in their family's podcast.

He was also spotted receiving help while roaming around Beverly Hills with a cane.

According to Osbourne, the injury he sustained in 2019 led him to quit touring in 2019. He reportedly went to the bathroom and missed the bed, causing him to fall flat on the ground. He asked his wife to call an ambulance and did not move an inch despite not feeling any pain.

His doctors found out that the pins installed on his back after a motorbike accident were misaligned after the fall, leading him to undergo an emergency procedure to avoid potential paralysis.

Meanwhile, his son Jack told The Messenger he thinks his father will never tour again.

"I don't think he'll tour again," he continued. "But he's gunning to do one-off shows - like festivals, gigs, things like that. He's not done yet."
