Ozzy Osbourne reveals that he has Parkinson since 2003

Kelly Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne

A month after announcing that he has Parkinson’s disease, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he was diagnosed with the disease in early as 2003. 17 years ago.

Ozzy Osbourne said to Los Angeles Times:

“I’m not dying from Parkinson’s. I’ve been working with it most of my life,” Osbourne told the Los Angeles Times in a new interview. “I’ve cheated death so many times. If tomorrow you read ‘Ozzy Osbourne never woke up this morning,’ you wouldn’t go, ‘Oh, my God!’ You’d go, ‘Well, it finally caught up with him.’”

Ozzy also noted that the medication he takes to control tremors can cause small memory lapses, and then said he plans to resume his solo farewell tour by the end of the year. “When? I don’t know, I don’t want to go back until I’m completely ready.”

Rafael Polcaro: I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
