Ozzy Osbourne Fans Thrilled by Throwback Photo of Him on a Throne during 'Diary of a Madman Tour'
Ozzy Osbourne did a small rewind on Tuesday when he shared a throwback photo of himself during an old tour. Fans loved the memories he brought to life.
Ozzy Osbourne is not letting go off the past — and his fans are thrilled about it. Earlier this weekend, the former Black Sabbath frontman shared an old photo from his earlier days as a rockstar.
Rocking long blonde hair, the singer was shirtless as he sat on a throne in the photo, which garnered nearly 100k likes in just a day. The post is found below.
OZZY AS THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS
In the picture, Ozzy's blue dragon tour is half-hidden by his locks, but the star seems to be a dragon himself. He has both hands raised, and his mouth is open to show large fans on his teeth.

After completion, Ozzy released his Memoirs of a Madman DVD, which featured live performances from the tour as well as music videos, behind the scenes footage, and more. It's available on Amazon.
OZZY REVEALS PARKINSON'S CONDITION
Nowadays, Ozzy is unable to perform as he used to due to a disease that's nearly killed him. Back in January, the singer opened up about living with Parkinson's disease.
In an interview done alongside wife Sharon, Ozzy revealed that he took a bad fall last year in February that required surgery on his neck. Wife Sharon said he'd "have a good day and then a really bad day."
At the time, Ozzy, 71, was hoping to travel to Switzerland to get more medical advice on his condition. Unfortunately, the emergence of COVID-19 has pushed back those plans with border closures.

AN UPDATE ON HIS HEALTH
In early May, the former "Osbournes" stars gave an update on how the rockstar is feeling during the family's self-isolation. Sharon commented during an interview with ET Canada.
The 67-year-old noted that Ozzy was hoping to go to Switzerland during the summer before adding, "He's doing good. He's in good spirits." She said that her entire family is doing well with what's going on.
These days, Sharon is continuing to work by virtually co-hosting on "The Talk" with her colleagues. She admits that she and her family have some cabin fever at home, but we're glad everyone's okay.
