Following Months Of Rumors About His Health, Ozzy Osbourne Revealed A Life-Changing Diagnosis
For years and years, Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne has been the subject of health-related rumors. Many people are interested in his medical condition, considering his history of very public substance abuse. And a lot of them were just that, rumors – but in 2020, the rocker and his family decided to go public with a serious diagnosis the 71-year-old received.
Living On Borrowed Time
The aforementioned stories started circulated around during October 2019. That year, Ozzy underwent surgery after a bad fall, and also had to cancel concerts due to pneumonia. Come October, the celebrity gossip website Radar Online claimed that the famous rocker was “living on borrowed time.”
End Of The Line?
According to a “pal of the former Black Sabbath frontman” who allegedly spoke to the website, “He’s had a whole host of health woes, and it looks like the ‘Crazy Train’ may have reached the end of the line.” However, Ozzy’s wife Sharon quickly came out to angrily deny the story was true.
Cold And Callous
While on The Talk Sharon declared “How cold and callous are those headlines? Where’s people’s empathy? It’s not [true] by any stretch of the imagination. I’ve been open with everyone and so has Ozzy.” She went on, “He had a terrible, terrible bout of bad luck with his health, one thing after another. And then after his fall that he had, it’s been awful for him. But he’s getting better.”
Can't Catch A Break
Ozzy has indeed had a lot of bad luck with his health as an older man. In addition to the pneumonia and the surgery after the fall in 2019, he got a staph infection in October 2018. He contracted the disease simply after getting a small cut on his hand. Which turned into a major and even life-threatening problem.
