At best, Ive got ten years left and when youre older, time picks up speed.
Me and Sharon had our 41st wedding anniversary recently, and thats just unbelievable to me!
I saw my father die of cancer.
That accident exacerbated existing back and neck problems from a 2003 bike crash.
Unfortunately, the surgery seemed to make things worse, and doctors found a tumor during another procedure.
Its really knocked me about, the singer said.
The second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled.
Its pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f*cked up.
Still, he notes, he should have been dead way before loads of his late friends.
He has admitted to drug and alcohol problems in his past.
Why am I the last man standing?
I dont understand any of it.
Sometimes I look in the mirror and go, Why the f*ck did you make it?!
Im not boasting about any of it, because I should have been dead a thousand times.
Ive had my stomach pumped God knows how many times.
His wife, Sharon, concurs that hes had a tough go over the last few years.
Hes gone through all these operations and the whole thing has felt like a nightmare.
This is the longest time he hasnt ever worked for.
Being at home for so long has been so foreign to him.
Despite his frail condition, Ozzy is holding out hope for one last hurrah.
But its been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life.
Because my fans are what its all about.
If I can just do a few gigs… Theyve been loyal to me for f*cking years.
They write to me, they know all about my dogs.
Its my extended family really, and they give us the lifestyle we have.
For whatever reason, thats my goal to work to.
To do those shows.
