Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is suffering 'badly' in new health update

Rock legend has opened up on his health battles as he admitted that he previously talked himself into thinking he "was going to die". The 76-year-old rocker is set to reunite with on July 5, in Birmingham, for the Back to the Beginning concert but shared that putting on a show comes with some worries.

He told the Ozzy Speaks podcast on SiriusXM: "All I can say is I'm giving 120 percent. If my God wants me to do the show, I'll do it." He added on his podcast about the mental toll of preparing to return to the stage: "My head's crazy. - I have that badly. I will have done the show and died a death before I even . So I try and put it on the back burner. I'm not going up there saying, 'It's going to be great. I'm really confident.'"

Ozzy recalled a specific instance of intense fear before a previous show, saying: "I remember being in f-ing one time being in the dressing room going, 'I'm going to play. I'm going to die'. And I talked myself into blowing the gig. It was only two f-ing songs."

Referring to his wife, Sharon Osbourne, he added: "Sharon goes, 'Just don't think about it.' I obsess about a f-ing bird c******* on my show."

Adding a bit about how he prepares for his shows, Ozzy said: "I have got this trainer guy who helps people get back to normal. It's hard going, but he's convinced that he can pull it off for me.

"I am having my blood pressure taken 15 times a day. I've got this f****** device on my finger. It's a monitor to say how my heart rate is."

As well as having ADHD, Ozzy also suffers from Parkinson's. Back in 2003, he was also involved in quad bike accident at his Buckinghamshire home, resulting in multiple spinal surgeries.

A fall in 2019 displaced metal rods inserted into his back from the crash, which he said has caused more complications than Parkinson's itself. He was diagnosed in 2003 but delayed going public with his news until 2020.
