Ozzy Osbourne had been facing a difficult health journey prior to his death.
The rock legend, who died at age 76 on July 22, previously shared that he had been battling multiple medical issues, including Parkinson’s disease, over the last several years.
“It’s been five years of absolute hell for me and the family,” he shared in 2023 on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “My family has been so supportive. I couldn’t have done it without them. It’s been really a bad scene.”
His son Jack Osbourne explained in the joint interview that while many fans had attributed his father’s health struggles to his Parkinson’s, several of his challenges were actually due to a 2019 neck injury that resulted from a fall—19 years after his first neck injury in 2000 due to a bike crash.
“I just got up and carried on but I had broken my neck, and I carried on working with it,” Ozzy reflected, “and then it just everything came undone.”
