Ozzy Osbourne has revealed why he believes he only has 10 years ‘at best’ left to live.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The\u00a0lead vocalist\u00a0<\/a>of heavy metal band Black Sabbath may have been dubbed a ‘genetic mutant’ by\u00a0a geneticist\u00a0<\/a>in 2010, but Osbourne – aka the Prince of Darkness – thinks his time may be coming and within the next decade.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The 74-year-old revealed he had\u00a0open back surgery<\/a> earlier this year and he’s since opened up about his health predictions for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As a result of a fall in 2019 – which dislodged metal rods placed in his spine following a quad bike crash in 2003 – Osbourne underwent\u00a0multiple surgeries\u00a0<\/a>on his back.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The ‘second surgery’ which took place earlier this year went ‘drastically wrong’ and ‘virtually left [him] crippled,’\u00a0Osbourne\u00a0<\/a>tells Rolling Stone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The singer explains: “It\u2019s really knocked me about. I thought I\u2019d be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a f**king rod in my spine. They found a tumour in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“It\u2019s pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f**ked up.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The tumour is another health concern on top of Osbourne’s Parkinson’s – the singer first diagnosed with the progressive disorder in 2003, but only speaking out about it publicly in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“Every time I scratch my a**e, they put it down to Parkinson\u2019s!” he says. “I\u2019m getting pi**ed off reading the papers, and they\u2019re saying things like ‘Ozzy is fighting his last battle’. He\u2019s sung his last \u2018Paranoid\u2019. You know, I don\u2019t even think about Parkinson\u2019s that much.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

While he doesn’t think about his Parkinson’s that much, Osbourne has thought about dying, noting he doesn’t ‘fear’ it but doesn’t ‘want to have a painful and miserable existence’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He jokes he told wife, Sharon, he\u00a0smoked a joint\u00a0<\/a>‘recently’ and she got angry, telling him it would ‘kill’ him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I said, \u2018How long do you want me to f**king live for?!” Osbourne adds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Osbourne is already in disbelief he made it to his 41st wedding anniversary, joking he stands in the mirror and questions how he’s still here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

“I\u2019m not boasting about any of it because I should have been dead a thousand times. I\u2019ve had my stomach pumped God knows how many times.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Reflecting how time ‘picks up speed’ as you age, Osbourne predicts ‘at best’ he has ‘ten years left’.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

And within those 10 years he wants to make sure he is ‘well enough to do one show’ where he can say: “Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Osbourne resolves: “That\u2019s what I\u2019m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I\u2019ll die a happy man.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
