Ozzy Osbourne may be dealing with health concerns, but he seemed upbeat when he was seen last week taking a stroll in Los Angeles without a cane.
Two months after postponing his planned shows in the UK and Europe and announcing his official retirement from performing due to illness, the rock icon was discovered.
Early in February, the Black Sabbath singer informed followers of the tragic news, saying:
‘I’ve probably never had to share something with my devoted supporters that is as difficult as this.
As you may all be aware, I suffered a serious accident this month four years ago, in which I fractured my spine.
He stated, ‘My one and only goal all this time has been to come back on stage. ‘I have a good singing voice.
My body is still physically weak, despite having undergone three operations, stem cell therapies, countless
sessions of physical therapy, and most recently, the ground-breaking Cybernics (HAL) Therapy.‘I’m truly humbled by the way you all have held onto your tickets so patiently for so long,
but in all good conscience I have finally come to the realization that I’m not physically capable of
doing my next European/UK tour dates, as I know I couldn’t handle the trip involved,’ he continued.
‘I never would have guessed that my days of travelling would come to an end in this manner.
‘My team is presently brainstorming locations where I can perform without having to go from city to city and nation to country,’ the author said.
With that in mind, it’s likely that seeing Ozzie out and about in LA on Thursday of last week would have eased some supporters’ concerns.
The 74-year-old was with his caregiver but was able to walk without the cane that has been frequently spotted with him lately.
Nevertheless, according to Metro, Osbourne was upbeat and stopped to sniff some wildflowers.
That was a fascinating feature that was not overlooked that he could move about without the aforementioned cane.
The rock legend’s health issues have garnered attention in recent years, to the point where Ozzy himself felt compelled to issue a statement adamantly stating that he is not dying.
Nonetheless, the ‘Prince of Darkness’ acknowledged in 2020 that he had been given a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
He experienced a ’serious tumble’ after performing a gig on New Year’s Eve 2019, necessitating surgery.
Soon after, he was admitted to the hospital with an upper respiratory infection. In February 2020, he was given the Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, announced, ‘It’s PRKN 2.’ ‘Parkinson’s comes in so many various forms; it’s not, by any means, a death sentence, but it does impair some nerves in your body.’
