‘I won’t be here in 15 years’: Ozzy Osbourne says he’s not afraid of death in interview about Parkinson’s diagnosis
Black Sabbath singer tries ‘to enjoy things as much as possible’
Ozzy Osbourne says he’s not worried about death in the wake of his recent health issues.
The Black Sabbath singer revealed earlier this month that he has been diagnosed with a form of Parkinson’s disease. He also needed neck surgery last year after a fall.
During an interview at his Los Angeles home, Osbourne told Kerrang!: “Do I ever think about when my time’s gonna come? I think about it; I don’t worry about it.
“I won’t be here in another 15 years or whatever, not that much longer, but I don’t dwell on it. It’s gonna happen to us all.”
He continued: “Am I happy now? No. I haven’t got my health,” he continues. “That thing knocked the s*** out of me, man, but I’m still here.”
Osbourne said he used to worry about death in his younger years more than he does now.
“I just try to enjoy things as much as possible, even though that’s so f****** hard sometimes,” he added.
On Sunday, Osbourne attended the Grammys with his daughter Kelly, while his wife Sharon conducted interviews on the red carpet.
He vowed to go on tour if he can get well enough to do so.
