Ozzy Osbourne Shares He Can No Longer Walk Amid Parkinson’s Battle

Ozzy Osbourne gave an update on his physical condition amid his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease as he prepares for his final performance with Black Sabbath.

Ozzy Osbourne is sharing an emotional update on his battle with Parkinson’s disease.

Five years after sharing his diagnosis, the Black Sabbath rocker—who underwent a “major operation” two years later—revealed that he can no longer walk, but he’s focusing on the gratitude he feels amid his health setbacks.

“I go on about the way I can’t walk, and I can’t do this,” Ozzy told cohost Billy Morrison on the Feb. 10 episode of their SiriusXM radio show OZZY Speaks. “But you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive.”

The 76-year-old continued to show perspective on his ailments as he takes stock of all that he’s accomplished in spite of his diagnosis.

“I may be moaning that I can’t walk as well,” Ozzy explained, “but as I look down the road, there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and they didn’t make it.”

The Osbournes alum—who shares Aimee Osbourne, 41, Kelly Osbourne, 40, and Jack Osbourne, 39, with wife Sharon Osbourne—added that he’s “trying to get back on my feet” while shedding some light on the realities of his physical impairments.

“When you get up in the morning, you just jump outta bed,” he told his cohost. “Oh, I have to balance myself, you know? But you know, I’m not dead, as you say. I’m still actively doing things.”

In fact, Ozzy is gearing up for his final performance with Black Sabbath in July, when he’s scheduled to reunite with the band for a one-day festival in Birmingham, England.

“He’s doing really great,” Sharon told the BBC in an interview published Feb. 5. “He’s so excited about this, about being with the guys again and all his friends. It’s exciting for everyone.”

While the rocker had previously announced his retirement from touring back in 2023, his wife explained that he wanted one more opportunity to have closure from his days of performing with original bandmates Tony IommiGeezer Butler and Bill Ward.

“Ozzy didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to his friends, to his fans, and he feels there’s been no full stop,” Sharon explained. “This is his full stop.”
