John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
OZZY Osbourne has been seen for the first time since cancelling his upcoming shows and retiring from touring. The 74-year-old singer made the announcement this week and said he's "not physically capable" after a recent operation.
Black Sabbath icon Ozzy was today photographed looking frail as he walked with the aid of a stick. Despite the struggles he's facing at the moment, Ozzy flashed a peace sign at waiting snappers.
He's had a series of nasty injuries and health issues over the past few years, including a spinal injury after an accident in his home in 2019, and being diagnosed with Parkinson's the same year.
Now, after a series of corrective operations for his spine, he's had to put all appearances and performances on hold indefinitely.
