Ozzy Osbourne hasn’t had much media presence since his performance at an NFL game in September 2022, but plans on returning to the stage despite health issues.
Throughout the late 1900’s, Osbourne was one of the most famous rock and roll performers. This was due to his eccentric personality and potentially the fact that he bit the head off of a bat.
Osbourne is a current patient of Parkinson’s Disease, of which he was diagnosed in 2003. Additionally, in 2019, he suffered a fall that caused a massive spinal injury to occur.
Although he manages his Parkinson’s with medication and has treated his spine with multiple surgeries, he still remains physically ill and unable to travel.
Osbourne and his family have had plans for years to return to England, but they unfortunately have not been able to leave Los Angeles due to a constant need for medical assistance.
Osbourne wants to have a final two concerts in Birmingham, England, and has already spoken to other members of Black Sabbath about reuniting. Even though this may not be happening, Osbourne still gives back to his fans.
Most recently, he made an appearance as a comic con guest last year. He was supposed to appear at this July’s Mad Monster Expo in Arizona, but had to cancel his appearance. To make up for this, he opened up orders for an autograph signing.
Unfortunately, the Prince of Darkness has been struggling with walking as well. He has been seen throughout Los Angeles being pushed in a wheelchair, worrying fans.
However, he will be honored soon at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist. It is unknown if he will be performing there, but fans are incredibly hopeful.
Although he may not be as public as he used to be, Ozzy Osbourne does his best to remain out in public despite his medical issues.
