Ozzy Osbourne is slowly becoming a shadow of his former self in his old age as he battles serious health problems that have left him in constant pain. Earlier this year, the singer made a major career decision and took a break from touring due to mobility issues.
In recent weeks, Ozzy has been getting honest on their family podcast, The Osbournes, where he openly talks about his health and the plans he has in place for euthanasia should his condition worsen. Despite bravely accepting that he felt his days were numbered and he had about ten years more to live, sources close to the family claim his health burden is taking a toll on him and causing him to be emotionally unstable.
Ozzy Osbourne’s emotional outbursts
Ozzy had an emotional outburst during a conversation with his longtime friend and Black Sabbath co-founder, Geezer Butler, as he accused him of not checking up on him. National Enquirer noted that Butler claimed he reached out to Ozzy on two separate occasions via mail but never got a response.

A source close to the family confirmed that Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, replied to one of Geezer’s emails even though she didn’t respond to the second.
More on Ozzy’s health
Ozzy health struggle started in the early 2000s after he was involved in an ATV accident and suffered an injury to his back neck and was also diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The heavy metal singer has undergone several surgeries, but his health is not back to what it used to be. “Sometimes I look in the mirror and go, ‘Why the f— did you make it?!’” Ozzy shared during an interview in 2020. “I’m not boasting about any of it because I should have been dead a thousand times.”
More recently, the singer has been spotted in a wheelchair looking frail, and his son, Jack Osbourne, also confirmed that his dad is never getting back to touring.
