Ozzy Osbourne is letting it be known that his Parkinson’s disease does not rule his life.
In 2020, the 74-year-old was diagnosed with the condition, and now he is clarifying that he has a rare form of the illness called “Parkin Two,” which is not terminal.
“It’s something to do with chromosomes,” said Ozzy. “It is very, very rare. My Parkinson’s doctor said, ‘You know what? You must be the mildest case I’ve ever seen.’” He added that he could live the rest of his life.
In January, Ozzy was still forced to cancel his 2023 shows due to other ailments.
However, in the beginning of March, Ozzy said he would like to be on the road again, if possible.
“The f**king press drives you nuts. I mean, I looked in the magazine, ‘Ozzy’s on his last legs.’ I’m f**king not dying…Come on, guys. Haven’t I had it bad enough already?” Ozzy explained, “If I get OK today, if the doctor said to me today, ‘Oh, you can tour, it would take another six months to get it together, you know?”
Despite his desire to tour, Ozzy Osbourne’s upcoming shows remain canceled.
