Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has revealed the heartbreaking reality of his health struggles, admitting he can no longer perform live due to his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease. The Black Sabbath frontman, known as the Prince of Darkness, shared candid details about his physical limitations in a recent interview.
The End of an Era
Osbourne confirmed he's officially retired from touring, stating: "My body is telling me I'm done." The 74-year-old musician explained how his mobility issues and chronic pain have made it impossible to continue performing at the level fans expect.
A Lifetime of Damage
The rocker reflected on how decades of hard living and performing have taken their toll: "I've had every disease you can imagine. My body's like a beaten-up old car - I need a new engine and new suspension." He specifically mentioned the impact of multiple surgeries following a 2019 fall that aggravated his existing spinal issues.
Family First
Osbourne credited his wife Sharon and their children for supporting him through his health battles. "Without them, I wouldn't be here," he emotionally confessed. The couple recently celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, proving their bond remains unbreakable despite the challenges.
What's Next for Ozzy?
While live performances are off the table, Osbourne hasn't completely retired from music. He's currently working on new material from his home studio, proving his creative spirit remains strong even as his body weakens. Fans can expect more studio albums, just no more world tours.
