SAU3R Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 He still looks okay for his age (thanks to plastic surgery possibly) but how on earth is he supposed to do another tour leg? He's barely able to talk, I don't see him suddenly transform on stage and sing properly.. I hope he gets better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I think Sharon is crazy, Ozzy shouldn't go on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 As much as he seems whacked out in the majority of interviews I've seen him in, he's never sounded as feeble/winded as he does here. If it's a mild case, hopefully doesn't rob him of his joy of music and performing to his audience, but seems as if he's a long way from getting himself back to a level where he can do that.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Well, this sucks! No cure and it only gets worse. Can he tour? It would be sad to see Ozzy in a wheelchair. Guess if Ozzy feels okay he'll tour. I know that's what makes him happy. This is what Glen Tipton has this too. What the hell is going on with all these rockers?

cineater Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 There's been advancements in this area since it took my grandmother. People live for years with it in various stages. Michael Foxx comes to mind. Like anybody else who's a live, you're only limited by what you are limiting yourself to. There's always a way to do what you want to do. What's the name of that guy in the wheelchair? He's your example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll41 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 I’m sorry to hear about this. He’s been through a lot lately. Hope things get better for him soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soon Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Sad news. He did seem frail to me, as well. As someones who has been sidelined by health issues before, I can say that there is a social toll taken by being in bed for a while. The Drs say you're all better, but you aren't as smooth or present in social interactions and maybe your word recall is diminished for a while. Its about regaining ones sense of self and dusting the cobwebs off of the brain. Its about regaining ones bearings as much as it is about the body healing, sometimes. Hopefully Ozzy is just still in the stage where he's 'reentering the world' and will be more lucid going forwards. *more lucid in the sense of Ozzy Osborne, which is its own unique thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djones1225 Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 My uncle's got Parkinson's had it for a few years now, like Sharon said theres good days and bad days, but unfortunately you can go downhill quickly in only a few years (like my uncle) or slowly. Either way my thoughts go out to Ozzy & the Osbournes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ozzy wants to tour I'm sure he'll have the best doctors with him. He loves to tour. It might just help him. Who knows? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt72 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 No real surprise announcement was made today that his no more tours has been canceled Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, the European leg is still on, but I doubt that’ll happen now either. I seriously think Ozzy will never set foot on stage again, but I fucking hope I’m wrong! EDIT: that being said, if canceling the whole tour and never setting foot onstage again is what’s needed for his health, then so be it. I’d rather him live longer and be healthier, even if it meant never getting the chance to see him live. But deep down, I’m sure Ozzy wishes he could perform again. When he had the accident two years ago, Sharon said Ozzy told her that he felt touring was the only thing he ever did right.

Powderfinger Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Sad to hear this. I was going to go see him solo for the first time on this tour, partly to see Megadeth... but was never a big fan of his solo stuff. Caught Sabbath a good few times between 1999-2017, saw them on the end tour 4 times. One of the best bands ever. Great rhythm section, great guitar player, and Ozzys talent for melodies is underrated. They piss all over Zeppelin and Deep purple for me.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Ozzy had to cancel the tour again. He's going to Europe for surgery and today on the Talk Sharon said he has to have treatments that can't be interrupted. Sharon also said how most of Ozzy's fans understand and just want him to get well. BTW, Sharon rocks her gray hair look! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoSoRose Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 He should just pack it up. If he really wants to do a finale, play a few shows each in LA/NYC/UK and call it a day He has nothing left to prove to anyone and should enjoy retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
