“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 said he is focusing on each day at a time, enjoying the little things in life, and appreciating the things that matter.

Ozzy is no stranger to injuries and illness. He crashed his bike in 2003 and was severely injured, with multiple broken bones. In 2019, Ozzy had to cancel a tour after experiencing a serious fall that led to his hospitalization. He was exhibiting strange tremors in 2007, which he is now attributing to early signs of his Parkinson’s.

He is planning a farewell tour in 2020. Yes, he is going back on the road even with his illness. This tour might be your last chance to see him live. Although probably not. Ozzy is as tough as they come.

Parkinson’s disease may be challenging to live with, but it is not a fatal illness. Most sufferers have the same lifespan as unaffected individuals. The condition causes movement difficulties, and in some cases, can cause depression and even overt dementia.
