Ozzy Osbourne reveals Parkinson's diagnosis in emotional interview
Birmingham music icon Ozzy Osbourne has revealed he has Parkinson's in an emotional interview.
The 71-year-old Black Sabbath star made the revelation during an interview alongside wife Sharon on Good Morning America.
The star revealed he suffers from Parkin II, and had to undergo surgery for it following a fall last year.
“A year ago next month I was in a shocking state," he said.
"I'm on a host of medication, mainly for the surgery. I've got numbness down this arm and my legs are going cold.
"I don't know if it's the Parkinson's or what. That's the problem. Because they cut nerves when they did the surgery.
"I'd never heard of nerve pain, and it's a weird feeling."
Earlier this week, the rock star was spotted walking with a cane, sparking rumours about his health.
Sharon went on to explain: "It’s Parkin’s II, which a form of Parkinson’s. There’s so many different types of Parkinson’s. It’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does effect certain nerves in your body."
He said he received the diagnosis last February, and that it has been 'terribly challenging for [us] all'.
