With discussions ranging from touring today versus the ’80s and ’90s to poignant reflections on the future of rock, this episode is a backstage pass into the raw, unfiltered world of music legends gearing up for an epic return to the stage.

The legendary BLACK SABBATH singer, who has struggled with a number of health issues in recent years, offered an update on his condition, saying: “I’m not seeing so many doctors anymore. Now I’ve got Parkinson’s disease, so I have to see the Parkinson’s doctor. But I’m not having surgery.”

Reflecting on the last surgery he had in September 2023, Ozzy said: “When I came out of surgery, I said to Sharon, ‘Whatever I’m gonna be at right now, that’s it. I can’t have any more surgery.’ I had seven surgeries in five years.”

He added: “It’s a slow recovery. I’m not as young as I used to be, so the recovery from anything takes longer than it did before.”

Ozzy also once again voiced his desire to get back onstage in 2024, saying: “I’m gonna try my hardest to get well enough to do a few gigs.”

Ozzy’s last album Patient Number 9 was written by OzzyWattRobert Trujillo (METALLICA), Chad Smith (RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS) and Ali Tamposi and features a riveting solo from legendary guitarist Jeff Beck
