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?”

The Prince of Darkness who had major surgery in June 2022 further disclosed that he wants to get back on his feet performing as soon as possible.”Well, I’ve been working my guts out to try and get back on my feet,” Osbourne said. “I’ve come to the point where Sharon says to me, ‘You know what, the truth of the marriage, you can’t keep booking tours and failing, canceling.'”

Ozzy Osbourne is still getting accolades for his music
Osbourne is still getting his flowers even though he is still recuperating. He won the best metal performance and best rock album at the recent 2023 Grammy Awards. The 74-year-old revealed what the award meant to him while answering a question posed to him. “It’s an award. It’s, like, film has the Oscars — music has the Grammys,” he said. “I’m not saying I don’t like ’em, but I wish I could tour to back it up.”
The Prince of Darkness claims that bagging awards makes him happy nowadays. “Cause I’m sitting at home. I’m getting these awards, and [it’s] okay,” Osbourne said. “I don’t mind it. It cheers me up a little bit for a few days.”
