“It get so bad that at one point Ozzy Osbourne was like, ‘Oh my God, please don’t wake me up in the morning,'” Osbourne said.
Ozzy Osbourne opened up about his difficult health journey, including his recovery from major surgery this summer and his ongoing struggle with Parkinson’s disease.
In a new news with The Observer, the 73-year-old Black Sabbath rocker revealed his surgery in June consisted of removing two metal plates that had been screwed into his spine in previous surgeries.
Ozzy Osbourne wife Sharon Osbourne described the operation as one that would “define the rest of his life.”
“The screw has loosened and is broken in the bone. And debris stuck under his spine. So the spine isn’t like that, it’s like that,” Sharon told the publication, standing and leaning forward.
“I had nerve pain due to the pressure on my spine. I’ve never heard of a nerve pain!” added Ozzy. “You know when you were a kid, also you played in the snow, and your hands got freezing? Then you poured hot water, and they started to heat up? And they gave you goosebumps? And that – does it hurt? It’s true.”
Because it is terrible suffering.” The musician added that his Parkinson’s disease often exacerbated his condition. He was diagnosed in 2003.
He told the Observer that he was constantly struggling to walk.
“You think you’re lifting your leg, but your feet aren’t moving. I feel like walking in lead boots,” he added, noting that Parkinson’s had affected his mental health and left him depressed.
“I was flat lower than I wanted to be,” Ozzy said of his mental state. “Nothing feels great. There isn’t anything. So I took these antidepressants, and they worked great.”
