Ozzy Osbourne Doesn’t ‘Understand’ Why He Is Still Alive as He Battles Health Issues

Ozzy Osbourne was candid in claiming he should have passed away long ago, before all his late friends. Now, with several health issues, he does not fear death but does not want to live in pain and misery.

Ozzy Osbourne doesn't hide the lifestyle he has lived for many decades while pursuing a career in music. Still, at past 70, he remains in good spirits while addressing health issues.

Admittedly, the Black Sabbath frontman wonders why, amongst all his friends, he is still alive. Osbourne has lost people close to him in the past, including all of his drinking partners.

He even claimed "graveyards full of them" exist. However, he believes he should have passed way before they did. "Why am I the last man standing? I don't understand any of it," he asked in confusion before saying:

"I'm not boasting about any of it because I should have been dead a thousand times. I've had my stomach pumped. God knows how many times."

In 2019, Osbourne experienced a fall that brought out issues from an old spinal injury. He has had several procedures to fix the problem, including one where two metal plates screwed to his spine were removed. At one point, he experienced severe nerve pain that made him pray not to wake up the following morning.

Although his condition has since improved, he still experiences challenges with his mobility at times. "My feet feel like I've got bricks tied to them when I'm walking," he said.

Two months ago, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he was going to have his last surgery on his neck as he could no longer take it. According to the performer, he has his mind set on having no more surgeries, regardless of how the procedure turned out.

In addition, Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003 while in rehab. He kept the sickness a secret from the media until early 2020. Fortunately, his Parkinson's is still mild with bearable struggles.

With the encouragement of his daughter, Osbourne has become more active and tries to manage his mental state with antidepressants. He also takes other medications for his Parkinson's.

Despite his health issues, Osbourne does not fear death. What he wants to avoid is being in a miserable state while still living in pain. He believes he still has ten years left and is living life to the fullest until then.
