Ozzy Osbourne is going under the knife again to help alleviate the pain he’s still feeling following a fall at home in 2019.
The Prince of Darkness shared this news on the first episode of The Osbournes podcast. He detailed, “My lower back is, I’m going for an epidural soon because what’s happening, what they’ve discovered is the neck has been fixed, below the neck there’s two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there’s nothing left of ’em.”
Ozzy added, “All I know is right now, I’m in a lot of pain, I’m in a lot of discomfort.”
Ozzy’s health issues over the past five years have been numerous and severe. His 2019 fall alone caused damage to previous injuries he sustained in 2003 when he almost died in an ATV accident. However, in the face of some much adversity, he’s managed to release two well-received albums: 2020’s Ordinary Man and 2022’s Patient Number 9.
