In a candid discussion, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, 75, has boldly admitted, “I’m nearly f—— dead,” but insists he has “had a f—— great time.” Despite his health struggles, including a battle with Parkinson’s disease, the iconic Black Sabbath frontman maintains an optimistic outlook as he reflects on his life.

During his first interview since the revelation of his return to drug use for pain management, Osbourne expressed a sense of acceptance about his condition. He remarked, “If it is the end of the road, I can’t complain.” He revealed that he longs for his homeland of England and expresses a desire to return, although ongoing health complications hinder his ability to travel long distances. He credited his wife Sharon, 71, and their children for their unwavering support during his challenging times.

Osbourne revealed he had to cancel plans to attend the Mad Monster Party alongside his family due to his health issues. He reminisced about a conversation with Sharon, who asked if he would change anything if given the chance. His immediate response was, “No, I had a f—— great time.”

He shared his emotional ties to the UK, stating, “I miss you guys. I was supposed to come back a year ago, but because of my ill health, they won’t let me.” He mentioned investing significantly in home renovations, including an indoor pool in his property near Beaconsfield, which he has yet to see.

The metal icon hinted at plans to return to England, confessing a hope that his family would eventually join him there. He noted, “I don’t want to end my days in America.”

Discussing an incident from 2019 that led to serious health repercussions, Osbourne recounted a fall that significantly impacted his mobility. His son Jack documented his surgery, wherein he humorously indicated to the camera, “I’ll see you in a few minutes.”

Recently, Ozzy celebrated his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist, proclaiming it to be “the best news I’ve had in years.” During the induction ceremony held on October 19 in Cleveland, he expressed deep gratitude, saying, “I can’t believe I’m here myself. I’d like to thank whoever voted me into the Hall of Fame for my solo work. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

As he navigates this challenging phase of life, Ozzy Osbourne continues to inspire many with his resilience and upbeat take on the journey he has experienced.
