Ozzy Osbourne reveals he has Parkinson's disease
On Good Morning America today, Ozzy Osbourne described 2019 as the "worst, longest, most painful, miserable year of my life" and revealed that he is suffering from a type of Parkinson's disease. From Gil Kaufman's report in Billboard:
"It wasn't really a problem for a long while," Osbourne says of why he waited so long to share the news about a horrible fall at home that re-aggravated an old injury and sidelined him for much of 2019. But, he says, wife/manager Sharon Osbourne told her husband he seemed different after the tumble and wondered what was going on.
"When I had the fall, it was pitch black. I went to the bathroom and I fell," explained Osbourne, 71, of a fall in his Los Angeles home that aggravated an old injury from a 2003 ATV accident that required surgery. "I just fell and landed like a slam on the floor and I remember lying there thinking, 'Well, you've done it now,' really calm. Sharon [called] an ambulance. After that, it was all downhill."
