Sharon Osbourne is keeping fans updated on Ozzy Osbourne’s health after he underwent a “life-altering” surgery on Monday.
“Our family would like to express so much gratitude for the overwhelming amount of love and support leading up to Ozzy’s surgery,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories on Tuesday.
“Ozzy is doing well and on the road to recovery! Your love means the world to him.”
A family source previously told Page Six that there would be a “lengthy amount of convalescence” after the operation, with a nurse likely to be brought into the home during Ozzy’s recovery.
“Ozzy is 73 and any kind of surgery when you get older is difficult,” the source added.
“This is quite major. He’s having the pins in his neck and back realigned from when he had a fall back in 2019.”
The 2019 fall at his Los Angeles home — which required 15 screws to be inserted in his spine – only exasperated injuries sustained from a quad biking accident in 2003.
In an interview on Britain’s “The Talk,” Sharon described the latest operation as “major” and said it could “determine the rest of his life.”
Prior to Monday’s procedure, the Prince of Darkness shared lyrics from his 2010 song “I Love You All” to his Instagram Story, zeroing in on the lyrics, “For all these years you’ve stood by me / God bless, I love you all.”
The surgery is just the latest health news from the Black Sabbath frontman, as he was diagnosed with stage 2 Parkinson’s disease in 2020.
“There’s so many different types of Parkinson’s — it’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body,” Sharon, 69, explained at the time.
“And it’s, it’s like you have a good day, a good day, and then a really bad day.”
