English singer-songwriter Ozzy Osbourne has had a career spanning over five decades, and he does not plan to stop soon. However, the icon has been battling some health challenges for years but remains as strong as possible. In 2003, he had a terrible quad accident which made him undergo surgery, and another fall in 2019 that caused the reinforcing metals from the surgery to dislodge. Aside from the accidents, Ozzy battled health issues like pneumonia, hand infections, Parkinson’s, which he was diagnosed with in 2003, and COVID-19.
