Ozzy Osbourne reveals Parkinson’s diagnosis: ‘I’m not good with secrets’
LA TimesOzzy and Sharon Osbourne have shared an update on his health. Rocker Ozzy Osbourne has Parkinson’s disease, he revealed Tuesday with wife Sharon Osbourne on “Good Morning America.” The revelation explains many of the symptoms he’s been struggling with since a fall a year ago forced him to postpone his entire 2019 touring schedule. Sharon Osbourne said her husband has “Parkin 2,” which may mean Stage 2 Parkinson’s, an early form of the disease. Ozzy called his present situation “mild.” “There’s so many different types of Parkinson’s. He said later in the interview, “It’s scary stuff.… From 40 to 70 was OK and suddenly you get to 70 and everything caved in on me.” His 2020 tour, which was rescheduled from last year, is slated to begin in Atlanta at the end of May and includes a July stop at the Hollywood Bowl before the rocker heads overseas.
