Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to refute online death rumours after discovering his own image in an 'in memoriam' video on YouTube. The 75-year-old Black Sabbath frontman shared his disbelief on the latest episode of The Osbournes podcast.
'I put it on and I died!' he exclaimed, referencing the video titled 'Celebrities Who Have Died Today'. Quoting Monty Python, he joked, 'I'm not dead. I'm not really dead… just a little flesh wound.'
His son Jack noted that the podcast has helped counter such falsehoods, with fans dismissing tabloid claims about his father's health. Sharon Osbourne branded those behind the hoax 'sick f***ers'.
Osbourne, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2020, cancelled European tour dates this year due to health issues. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries and treatments, he insisted, 'I'm not going any-f****ing-where and I'm going to go do some more gigs before I'm finished anyway.'
