The legendary 71-year-old Ozzy Osbourne talked in an interview with The Mirror about his love for the audience and retirement. The Black Sabbath singer said that he will only retire when he “can hear them nail a lid on my box. And then I’ll fucking do an encore. I’m the Prince of Darkness.”
Ozzy Osbourne said about his love for the audience and retirement:
“You know the time when I will retire? When I can hear them nail a lid on my box. And then I’ll fucking do an encore. I’m the Prince of Darkness. When you feel that audience jumping, it’s a better feeling than orgasm. It is the best love affair of my life. The party is on, man. I feel honored people still want to see me. To be Ozzy Osbourne, it could be worse… I could be Sting.”
Talking about his latest album “Ordinary Man”, Ozzy said:
“The best medication I’ve had in a long time. Doing the record saved my life. I’m just a very fortunate man to be still here talking to you about my life. Life goes on. Right now, right here, today. I’m fucking great.”
“I ain’t done yet. I have a lot left. We’re doing an album. My father said I would always be a big something one day. He said, ‘You are either going to do something special or go to prison.’ I had a dream and it came true. I have a good life.”
About Parkinson’s disease, he said:
“Well the one questions from me was, ‘Is it a terminal illness?’, and the guy says, ‘No, but life is.’ It’s just another thing on my plate I have got to deal with. I’m not in the slightest worried about it. I’ve not got any secrets. The initial shock is, ‘I’ve got Parkinson’s.’ Nobody knows what the fuck it is. I didn’t know anything about it apart from the name.”
