Sharon Osbourne issues worrying health update on Ozzy: ‘Sorry to let you down’

Sharon Osbourne has shared concerning news with fans as her Black Sabbath rocker husband Ozzy continues battling Parkinson’s.

Sharon Osbourne has issued a worrying health update on her husband Ozzy in an emotional video.

Former UK X Factor star Sharon, 71, apologised to fans as she cancelled a festival appearance, promising refunds would be issued to ticket holders, reports The Sun.

The famous family had been booked for the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix, Arizona, a horror and sci-fi convention where an Osbournes meet-and-greet package was being flogged for $UA666 ($1000).

While 38-year-old Jack will be in attendance, Ozzy, 75, has been advised not to fly, so Sharon and their daughter Kelly, 39, have pulled out too.

With just two weeks to go, the music manager explained their decision in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) today.

She said: “Regretfully, the Osbourne family have to cancel our upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix because Ozzy is unable to travel at this time.

“However Jack will be there flying the flag for the Osbournes.

“Everybody who bought the Osbourne package will of course get full refunds.

“We would like to thank you all for your constant support with Ozzy. It means so much to him, you have no idea.

“All I can do is apologise that we won’t be there and I’m apologising to the people we’ve let down from my heart.

“So, God bless you all. Thank you so much.”

Sharon shared the worrying update with fans.

Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease back in 2019 and went public with his diagnosis the following year.

As well as mobility issues, the condition has caused him to suffer nerve pain, depression and blood clots.

Last year, the Black Sabbath rocker underwent the last in a series of operations after a fall from a toilet in 2019 dislodged metal rods in his back from a nearly-fatal quad bike crash in 2003.

Asked about the move, Ozzy said: “I’ll take one day at a time because I can’t make that much of a plan.

“Whatever I plan gets changed. I can’t travel yet.”

Ozzy said this fourth op was the last one he believed his body could handle. He said: “It’s going to be the final surgery, because I can’t do it any more.

“Regardless of the way it ends up, I can’t.”

He added: “I walked upstairs today for the first time in a while, and my feet feel like I’ve got diving boots on.”
