LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Ozzy Osbourne was seen leaving a physical therapy appointment in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 29. The Prince of Darkness appeared a bit frail as he walked to his car with the help of a nurse by his side.

The 'Black Sabbath' frontman, who recently turned 74, had been seen using a cane lately, but the rocker did not need it as he climbed into his car with only the help of a facility employee, who placed a hand on his back to support him. He still appeared to be the rock star he always was, as he wore black sweatpants, a black sweater, a long navy blue coat and a face mask. He wore his shoulder-length hair up and black, comfortable sneakers.

The Grammy winner,  who was diagnosed with Parkin 2, a form of Parkinson's disease in 2019, underwent 'life-altering' surgery earlier this year in June, as per Daily Mail. His wife Sharon Osbourne, 70, said that the major surgery would "determine the rest of his life".

During a recent SiriusXM interview, Ozzy revealed that he is still fighting to walk six months after having spinal surgery. He revealed that his inability to get around on stage may affect his 2023 tour. Ozzy, who is also dealing with Parkinson's disease, said, "It is so f****** tough because, I mean, I want to be out there. I want to be doing it. This f****** surgery this guy did. F****** hell, you have no idea. The thing is my head is all right, my creativity is OK, my singing OK but I just can’t f****** walk much now." The 'Dreamer' hitmaker finds the situation "frustrating as f***." 

Despite having health issues, Ozzy celebrated Christmas in typical goth fashion with daughter Kelly, Billy Idol guitarist and friend Billy Morrison, wearing a customized Christmas sweater and sporting a gloomy expression. Posing for a festive snap alongside the two, Ozzy kept his expression dark and did not crack a smile for the camera despite the festive season. He posted the snap to his Instagram, with the caption, "Bah, Humbug!"
