Ozzy Osbourne can no longer walk as his health continues to be impacted by Parkinson’s disease.

On Feb. 5, Sharon Osbourne, 72, spoke to The Sun about her husband’s battle with the disease while sharing her excitement that Ozzy, 76, will be reuniting with Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years for his final concert in July.

“He’s very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this,” she said.

“Parkinson’s is a progressive disease. It’s not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body and it’s affected his legs,” she added. “But his voice is as good as it’s ever been.”

Ozzy discussed the condition of his health on his SiriusXM radio show, the outlet reports. “I have made it to 2025,” he said. “I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive.”

“I may be moaning that I can’t walk but I look down the road and there’s people that didn’t do half as much as me and didn’t make it,” he added.

Sharon later told RadioX that Ozzy has to work with a physiotherapist every day to keep his muscles moving. “He’s fine,” she adds, “…as fine as you can be with Parkinson’s.”

Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003. And following his fourth spinal surgery in September 2023, the Black Sabbath rocker was focused on his health and mobility.

During an episode of The Osbournes Podcast last year, Ozzy noted that the numerous surgeries were taking a toll on him.

“Tomorrow I have my final surgery on my neck,” he said at the time. “Which it is gonna be the final surgery because I can’t do it anymore. Regardless of the way it ends up after tomorrow, I’m not doing it anymore. I can’t.”

“My feet feel like I’ve got bricks tied to them when I’m walking,” he admitted. “I walked upstairs today and downstairs for the first time in a while, and my feet feel like I’ve got diving boots on when I’m walking. I think it’s the nerves… Then I was thinking, maybe I just need to get up off my ass and walk around the block a few times.”

The “Crazy Train” singer also told critics to “f— off” when it comes to his recent health battles, assuring that “I’m far from being on my last leg.”
