Ozzy Osbourne has opened up about his health at San Diego Comic-Con, one month after having serious surgery.
In June, The Black Sabbath star’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, revealed on her panel show The Talk that the 73-year-old was having an operation which would ‘determine the rest of his life’.
Ozzy, who recently recovered from Covid-19, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003, but only revealed he had the condition in January 2020.
The singer also continues to battle other medical issues after injuries from a 2003 quad bike accident were aggravated when he fell at home in America in 2019.
Posing for pictures at Comic-Con with comic book creator Todd McFarlane, who worked on the Prince of Darkness’s single Patient Number 9, Ozzy spoke about his health at the San Diego event.
The rocker told Entertainment Tonight: ‘I like to see people, you know. That’s been the hardest thing of the past three years, because I’ve been trying to recover from my surgery. I’m getting there. It’s a slow climb back, you know?’

Ozzy was also quick to gush over his daughter Kelly Osbourne’s pregnancy, revealing: ‘Kelly is big and she’s beautiful and I love it.’
The 37-year-old announced she was expecting her first child with Sid Wilson from Slipknot in May.
On Instagram she wrote: ‘I know that I have been very quiet these past few months so I thought I would share with you all as to why… I am over the moon to announce that I am going to be a Mumma.
‘To say that I am happy does not quite cut it. I am ecstatic!’

Ozzy shared a snap of the big day on Instagram, and he rocked an all-white suit with a string of leaves around his neck and shaggy blonde hair as Sharon looked up at him lovingly.
He wrote alongside it: ‘40 Years Ago Today! Happy Anniversary My Love.’
