Metal Anarchy

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he will soon be undergoing another surgery. The frontman, who suffers from PRKN 2, has undergone a number of operations in recent years due to a 2019 fall in which he dislodged some metal rods that were implanted in him following a 2003 ATV accident.

Ozzy said the following during a new episode of “The Osbournes” podcast:

“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.”

He continued after his son Jack asked if they are fusing the discs:

“I don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”

Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon then went on to say that she isn’t sure about the technical term. Ozzy added:

“All I know is right now, I’m in a lot of pain, I’m in a lot of discomfort”

After confirming that it will be “surgery number four,” Ozzy expressed some optimism:

“I said to the doctor yesterday, you know what I’ve heard, which I have, people have discs replaced that are worked on and they become the strongest things in the bone.”

However, Sharon cautioned that the doctor was unsure if the surgery will be a success.

Ozzy also discussed how his issues have caused him to walk with his head in front of his body:

“In my back, the two discs, and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that’s why I lean forward as it’s like gravity is bringing my head forward.”
