Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne has been forced to quash yet another death hoax, taking to social media to reassure concerned fans that reports of his passing are completely false.
The 75-year-old Black Sabbath frontman, who has faced numerous health challenges in recent years, responded with characteristic dark humour: 'I'm not going anywhere - I'm still here!'
Persistent Health Struggles
Osbourne has been open about his ongoing battle with Parkinson's disease and the effects of multiple surgeries following a serious fall in 2019. The rocker recently revealed he's undergoing regular physical therapy to maintain his mobility.
'It's been tough,' Osbourne admitted in a recent interview, 'but I'm determined to keep performing for my fans as long as I possibly can.'
A History of Premature Obituaries
This isn't the first time the 'Prince of Darkness' has had to deny reports of his demise. Similar death hoaxes have circulated online several times in recent years, often prompting alarmed responses from the music community.
Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon has previously spoken about the emotional toll these false reports take on the family, particularly when they go viral.
What's Next for the Rock Legend?
Despite his health issues, Osbourne continues to work on new music and has expressed hope for limited live performances in the future. His resilience continues to inspire fans worldwide.
'The support from my fans keeps me going,' Osbourne said. 'I'm not done yet.'
