Rock-Icon Ozzi Osborne told about his fight against health in a fresh interview, sharing important details of his condition. The artist acknowledged that he "would have died a happy person" if he could have another concert to express his gratitude to his fans.
In February, a 74-year-old musician announced the end of his touring career, explaining that he is physically unable to continue performing after a series of health problems. In the summer, he canceled his participation in the music festival planned for October.
"If I can't speak regularly, I want to at least be so healthy to hold another concert and say, 'Thank you for my life'. This is the goal I work on and if I would die after that, I would die by a happy person," Osborne said.
The musician spoke about the difficulties associated with his health, including surgery and the fight against Parkinson's disease. Unexpectedly for himself, he also revealed details of a spine injury, which he received four years ago.
"The second operation was not at all as it should, and practically left me disabled. I thought I would be able to return to work after the second and third operations. I found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, and I had to remove it," Osborne said.
Despite periodic speeches in recent years, including participation in the closure ceremony of the Commonwealth Games 2022 in his hometown, Osborne is virtually absent on stage, recognizing that this is a big challenge for him.
As a co-founder of the Black Sabbath group, Osborne received numerous awards, including Grammy, and became a legend of rock music. He expressed his hope that if he had to return to the stage, he would do it as a farewell to his fans.
