Ozzy Osbourne has revealed the real reason he isn’t able to tour and it isn’t because of his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
The Black Sabbath star, 75, joked: ‘I’m nearly f***ing dead!’ as he opened up about his health issues and the complication that causes him the most issues.
The musician has undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023, and has reportedly been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2003.
However in an interview with The Sun, Ozzy revealed he hasn’t walked properly since he underwent a surgery after tripping in 2019.
The star revealed he tripped during a bathroom visit in the night and fell over and landed wrong.

He explained: ‘I went to the doctor’s and you assume everybody knows what they’re doing. My son Jack has a video of me going into surgery, saying, “I’ll see you in a few minutes”. I haven’t walked properly since.’

Ozzy confessed he believes too much blame for his predicament has been placed on his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
He argued: ‘I mean, when I came off the quad bike in 2003, I still did tours and I had Parkinson’s back then. It was THAT f*****g surgery.’
The star also admitted that he has no regrets and wouldn’t change anything about his life.
He revealed his wife Sharon asked him if he was to do it all over again whether he would change anything and he admitted he wouldn’t as he’s had a great time.
Meanwhile Ozzy’s health issues have delayed the family’s move back to England.
During a July episode of their podcast The Osbournes, co-starring their children Kelly and Jack, Sharon shared, ‘It just seems that every time we’re set to go [back to England], something happens with Ozzy’s health.’
She remained optimistic, adding, ‘We’ll get there. We wanna go back so bad, but we’ll get there. Won’t we, Ozzy?’ to which he responded, ‘Yeah.’

The couple, who first announced their plans to return to the UK in August 2022, have faced numerous setbacks.
And Ozzy confirmed once again that the plan is to move to England as he confessed he misses it and doesn’t want to end his days in America.
The singer, who relies on a wheelchair and crutches, has also previously struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and confessed that he had gone back to having ‘weed from time to time.’
