During the interview, the "Mama, I'm Coming Home" singer disclosed that despite stories that he found out that he had Parkinson's when he fell in 2018, he had known about the disease since 2003.

According to additional reports from Daily mail, Ozzy was still recovering from the fall which made the neck injury from his 2003 quad bike accident worse.
