Earlier this year, Ozzy Osbourne grabbed headlines when he canceled his live comeback tour, marking another setback in his ongoing battle with health issues. The 74-year-old heavy metal legend, known for his role as the frontman of Black Sabbath, has faced numerous health challenges in recent years.
One of his major health complications stems from a severe spine injury he suffered in a 2003 ATV accident, which resulted in multiple fractured bones. In 2019, Ozzy experienced a significant fall at home, which he revealed “screwed up all the vertebrae” in his neck.
In July, Ozzy had to withdraw from Power Trip, a California hard rock festival scheduled for October, featuring renowned acts like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, AC/DC, Tool, and Iron Maiden.
Recently, on an episode of The Osbournes Podcast, Ozzy Osbourne shared another concerning health update. His fourth upcoming surgery since the 2019 fall revolves around his lower back, where he explained that the neck has been repaired, but two vertebrae below the neck were disintegrated in the accident.
During the podcast, which featured his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, and their children, Jack and Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy expressed his uncertainty about the surgery’s details, saying, “I don’t know what the doctors are doing.” When asked if the procedure involved fusing his discs, Ozzy noted that he’s currently experiencing significant pain and discomfort.
Fans are now worried about Ozzy’s health, as he continues to battle these ongoing challenges. They are sending their thoughts and prayers for his recovery during this difficult time.
