Ozzy Osbourne Says He Can No Longer Walk

BUT NOT COMPLAINING

The rocker said he was happy he’d made it 2025 when other rockers he once knew have not.

Legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne might not be able to walk any more, but he’s still grateful to be here. The 76-year-old said on his Sirius XM radio show this week that, “I have made it to 2025. I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive. I may be moaning that I can’t walk but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it.” The lead singer of Black Sabbath, who is preparing for a farewell show this summer with his heavy metal bandmates, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2023. “Parkinson’s is a progressive disease,” Sharon Osbourne told The Sun this week. “It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”
