The godfather of heavy metal, Ozzy Osbourne, recently appeared on the CBS show 'The Talk' to share an update on his improving health condition and also spoke about his recovery period during the coronavirus lockdown. The Prince of Darkness made an appearance on the talk show on June 17 along with his wife Sharon Osbourne and daughter Kelly Osbourne.

The iconic ex-Black Sabbath singer said it had been a "slow process" while recovering from his numerous health issues, which included injuries sustained from a near-fatal ATV accident, a horrific fall in his bathroom soon afterward which dislodged numerous steel rods in his back, a bout with pneumonia and the onset of Parkinson's disease, among other medical issues. "It’s had its moments, I must confess," the 71-year-old singer said during his sitdown chat on 'The Talk'. He also admitted, "I’m good. I’m getting better. I’m getting there... slowly but surely."

Ozzy had previously revealed in January that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, a debilitating nervous system disorder that affects movement and one's motor function. He also revealed in that same interview that 2019 had been "the worst, longest, most painful, miserable year of my life". The multi-platinum singer confessed it had taken him some time to adjust to life for the unprecedented coronavirus lockdown, considering he's spent countless years on the road as a successful touring musician. "I've been recovering from surgery I had last year. So I've never been at home this long in my whole career," he revealed. "I have a chance to see my wife's side of the fence... more than me being on the road."



 

Thankfully, Ozzy has been surrounded by plenty of unconditional love and emotional support during his convalescence period, thanks to his doting wife Sharon and daughter Kelly. The proud dad declared that it had been "great" to have Kelly around to keep him entertained at home. "She’s fun... she's bubbly," he shared. "She never stops talking."

The 'Under The Graveyard' singer also previously revealed that his recent No. 1 album, 'Ordinary Man', had been key in helping him cope with his journey back to full recovery. "That whole album came out of nowhere, and it was so much fun," he admitted in May. "It was what I needed to get me out of my gloom and doom and my recovery." Here's hoping the 'Iron Man' singer can stay strong and soon return to the place where he belongs — up on the stage, thrilling millions with his incredible songs and entertaining antics.
