Ozzy Osbourne: Former surgeon was f***ing insane
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 окт 2024
- Hall of Fame heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon explain their regret for not getting a second or third opinion before stepping into major neck surgery in 2019. Ozzy calls his 2019 surgeon “insane” and says death would have been a welcomed gift amidst prolonged post-surgery pains, while Sharon lets us in on the emotional toll felt by the entire Osbourne family. She - alongside others in the Osbourne family - tried to wean Ozzy off of a regimen of 60-70 painkillers and prescribed medicines. [Filmed September 2021]

If someone with a giant mountain of cash can’t get proper care it doesn’t look good for the rest of us.
You couldn’t be more f***in right. Well said
Or maybe because he has so much money, they do all the useless operations just to get the money even if its not in the person's best interest? I mean how many celebrities do you hear of getting so many medications which do more harm than good only because they have the money? I think a lot of medics especially in the US seem to just give whatever the patient wants even if it's of no help and causes lots of illness and even death, but they keep dishing it out and take millions of dollars from their clients, they just want the money and seem to have no ethics as humans and certainly no medical ethics!
Until you have a real medical crisis you cannot fathom the horror of it. Uncaring doctors, endless waits for appointments, the cost,. You are treated like a commodity once in the medical system. They will cattle chute you for all the tests they can and profit they can get out of you then cast you adrift. Truth.
Money can't buy your health live party die c'est la vie that's life
They are just normal people like the rest of us. The problem is the education, or lack there of.
I don't know what's more heartbreaking.
Seeing your favorite musicians die young, or watching them aging and suffering. God bless you Ozzy!
either way, sucks.
Getting old sucks. Once that generation dies off, then we'll be the old ppl. We're next. (From the Sopranos)
Die young for sure
Huge reality check
What a trip. Love ozzy but he always seemed larger than life... then we remember he's just human.
Ur Right…
Long live OZZY....I've been listening to OZZY for over 52 years. The worst part about getting old for me is watching the rockers from my generation pass away 😢
I hear ya but you know what, seeing these legends in their primes and into their years was amazing and its something the youth wont ever understand nor witness.
I agree hold heartedly!
He's not gone yet ☺
Last generation of cowboys brother 🤘 I know what you mean my favourite bands are the wildhearts and anti nowhere league the singers are both in their 60s
I can't even begin to imagine him passing, its gonna kick my ass and put me right down just like when cornell died, man when that happened I was destroyed and left with so many questions.
Ozzy could never be a burden.
Timeless example of a regular flawed person.
So relatable and yet so extraordinary.
So sad that Ozzy or anyone could feel they are a burden at this stage in their lives. It’s every family members obligation to ensure that no member is ever allowed to feel they are a burden.♥️
Try living with someone with those kinds of issues. It would be very trying for any family. I hope Ozzy gets to play some more shows.
@@BrennanStruif I took care of my Dad while he was on the Transplant List and through Cancer. Something is going to happen to all of us. That’s when you need your family the most. I think they can afford to get plenty of help in for Ozzy. If it gets too trying they can always move to a different wing of the mansion..lol
he will pass this year..2023...its been predicted years ago
Well said.
It's a blessing that Ozzy is still with us.
I can’t imagine a world without Oz. Eternally grateful for his music.
I can
Don’t even think that!
You can tell that Ozzy still had the soul of a young man. He absoloutly HATES that his body is going downhill on him. He even says that it “isn’t him” to be laid up like he has. I feel bad for the man. All he wants is to perform and be normal again.
Physical aging is such a terrible thing. I've heard time and time again people in their 70s say they felt like a young/youngish person in an old person's body, like how they felt did not match their physical body.
I wish he never had the surgery. Like Ozzy says he doesn’t think he would have been paralyzed
But he says he is basically anyways. After the damn surgery. He was working out in his gym 4 hours a day everyday. Now he can’t even do an hour. Or at all.
God Bless you Ozzy. Your the best and always will be.
Love my Ozzy. ❤❤
He's a 74 year old senior citizen (and former addict) who's currently in diabolical physical agony ... so we've booked him to perform at another major festival called Power Trip this summer.
Ozzy is only 74? man i thought he was like 1,000 years old,
Ozzy's life is the stage, he would 1000% rather be on the stage than not. Even in pain.
I’m with you on that one…bless him
Well said…. And There is no shame in retiring, he leaves a huge legacy for the fans. Rest up Ozz, take care of yourself.
the song he sings about the lights going off on stage is the best ever.
Pain is no joke! I had a FAILED spinal Fusion in 2007 at 37 years old. Been in Agonizing Pain since! Worst Decision in my life! Keep going Oz. I feel you peace and love brother
I wish u the best in ur condition. Best of health
I hear you. I also suffer
Ditto
I agree with you 100% I have 3 compressed discs in my lower head, they told me 95% chance I will be fixed and unfortunately I'm in the 5% and I'm on high pain meds everyday and I'm still in alot of pain had it done 9 years go and I'm worse off now than I was before the op. So I understand what you are saying about pain is no joke. My heart goes out to you and ozzy. I hope you are doing as good as you can be.
That's why I refuse to get a fusion. And live in absolute agony.
Sharon is not just a rock, but an anchor to Ozzy. She stayed when Ozzy almost killed her and she stayed when he needed mental AND physical help and she gets no credit. Sharon and Ozzy are a perfect example of how love can be stronger than addiction and suffering. Mad respect to both of them. I’m getting upset every time I see Ozzy, it seems like yesterday I was a child watching him and the family argue and fight each other. I wish nothing but happiness and peace to that entire family ❤
Shes done some
Dirty business stuff behind the scenes. She also was his manager and was banging him while he was with his wife I believe. No one can argue she
Doesnt help him lots though, without her he would be lost.
AGREE.... HE LOVES HER MORE THAN HIS OWN LIFE, AND SHE LOVES HIM..... SHE IS HIS LIFE.....
She loves him, she's worked all her life, she was fat rich before she ever knew him
She looks after her family. They have been a toxic family but they do love and take care of family and each other. Ozzy's quality of life is bad now ...but he still talks to us with his feet grounded. That's a close family.❤
.
Ozzy has worked ALOT , maby he should just kick back now and enjoy the riches
All the people who hate that woman should remember that if she wasn't there, there would be no Ozzy for very long time now. And he loves her.
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate Sharon? She's been the only reason he survived and loved him more than anyone ever could. I love Ozzy and Sharon.
@@lisabryant1062 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
She's the worst, that's for sure!
@@Voltar bruce dickenson too
she loves money
@@sparrowhawk3216 And Plastic surgery.
Ozzy has overcome many challenges in his life I believe he’ll overcome this too!! God bless Ozzy!!!
Ozzy Rules!!! It is sad to hear him talk about how hard it has been for him. All my love to you Ozzy and your family.
In 2017 my neck was fused from C2 to T3. Ozzie is the first person I’ve heard that has explained exactly how I feel after the surgery almost to the T including not being able to hold his head up. everything about this spinal surgery went wrong just like his did It is a life of misery just as he explains it I couldn’t have said it any better myself.
It’s beyond crazy how Dr’s can be so eager to do their surgery or other treatments on you, but when they mess it up, they just wash their hands of you and that’s that for them. Infuriating. Same goes for all the people you know who told you to “Go get that done! What have you got to lose?” It’s hard to imagine at the time but things can get a whole lot worse! Get a second opinion.. and a third and fourth and a fifth! Take the time. You’ve got the rest of your life to either regret it or to be glad you took the extra time.
Has it gotten any better for you?
How are you now, my friend?
@@Tyler-vw9bh I’m bed ridden for the most part. I have good days where I get outside. The mind always feels like I can do stuff but the body says otherwise
@@АлександърЦонев-т7х I’m hanging in there thank you
We love you Ozzy. This fan wants you to do all you can to let your body heal
You're a legend for interviewing Ozzy Graham! Thank you!🙏🏻
I love OZZY so much. I wish I could just hug this man.
Why?
This hit home for me. My mama had a very bad botched surgery, 4 yrs ago, and she has no support in her neck. 😢 She has no life anymore. Always in pain!!! Ozzy, hang in there😊
Words cannot explain how much I love this man and his family. Ozzy, feel better, I hope with all of my heart that some doc finds a miracle cure for your pain. Fricking up your neck is one of the worst things that can happen to you. Love the new album! No matter what, don't stop making music and just being here! The world needs OZZY!
Ozzy, you’re never a burden to anybody, including your family. I know that you are an inspiration to everybody.
I had the same exact thing happen. Never had back or leg pain in my life. A surgeon said my spine at my neck looked like gravel and I could be paralyzed if I fell or was in an accident. So I had a neck fusion and came out miserable with pain in my lower back and all the way down my left leg. Several surgeries later, trying to figure out where the nerves impended, no surgeon can figure it out. I stay in pain constantly. I even got a nerve stimulator implanted. I’d give anything to find a dr who could fix it. It really sux to hurt all the time 😢
I hear you same here ‘ 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Poor guy! Husband introduced me to his music 30 yrs ago. Always thought was a sweetheart he is by watching him w/ his family and now his granddaughters. I hope some doc out there can help him.
“I’m not f*****g done yet!”
My Nan has the same will to live. She’s 93 and reversed diabetes, is morbidly obese and eats nothing but cakes and buns. She still loves a rum and coke and a beer or cider and even with dementia for 2 years, she still fully remembers me and my dad and even reminds us when we’ve forgotten to take her something up from a week ago 😂 I see that same fighting determination in her, that I do with Ozzy. What an incredible man he is. May they both have long lives ❤
I have had one neck surgery and one back surgery. I’m only 60 and feel same as Ozzy. IT’s a terrible way to live. I feel for him and his family. God Bless
Ozzy is great! He is already so many years old, but he looks great and feels that there is still enough energy in him! Well done!!
It's tragic isn't it.
Honestly hope after everything he has done, he can have a better quality of life.
We are rooting for you Oz
Ozzy is many things, NOT a burden...poor man, we all love you Ozzy
Love ya, Ozzy! 38 shows solo and 3 Sabbath shows and meeting you twice. Your music has gotten me through such terrible times and to celebrate the best of them! Wishing you better times ahead and pain free days/nights! God Bless ya Ozzy
I had spinal fusion that L5, S1 after 15 years of back pain. It’s been seven months since the surgery and I am completely pain-free. No more leg pain no more back pain it’s like I’m a new man! It’s always a risk hopefully nothing else goes wrong with my spine!
That's awesome. What a relief that must be
Yep thank you sir
I went through the same thing, and it's been heaven ever since
Some people get that surgery and they come out just fine others are not so lucky you take a 50/50 chance on being paralyzed I knew someone that got it and went paralyzed wanted to go in and get another surgery but unfortunately the damage was already done there was no fixing it killed him self I tell people surgery on the back is very serious get third or fourth opinions
My dad DIDN'T go your route and had the worst life ever.
Damn I feel so bad for ozzy this reminds me of my dad almost exactly my dad broke his back and had 3 surgeries making it worse everytime he was never the same after that became addicted to pills and just completely tore him apart that sucks man I hope some miracle happens for ozzy
Something similar happens to my father in law but it was his back. They just made him worse every time.
They should've excersize their backs. Surgery on the neck or back as an absolute no no.not to relieve pain.its almost always Gunna end up worse
Love and well wishes to both of you, Ozzy and Sharon. Love n' hugs
You have nothing to prove Mr. Osbourne. You are the definition of Rock and Roll. You inspired millions of musicians. Do us all a favor and take care of yourself.
What the holy hell? I understood every single word that Ozzy said. Been awhile since thats happened. He might feel 90 something but he sounds 30 something. That must be a good sign, now just need to get the feels right
Being able to stay sober for 10 years helps.
I’ve met a few big names in music, but meeting Ozzy is probably the one time I’d actually cry. It sucks to see the godfather of metal suffering like this. Even if he never tours again I just hope he can find a way to live pain free and happy for the rest of his days. We love you Ozzy.
Graham thanks so much for this post on Ozzys neck drama.
I was in a puddle of tears watching this because like Ozzy I had this same operation
April of 2020. I call it the day my life ended.
I got told almost verbatim the same thing Ozzy got told "You need the surgery because you will be paralyzed if you should fall the fluid in your spine has narrowed eventually you will have not control over your bowels and you will not be able to function" At the time I some tingling in my hand light.
At the time of my initial appointment I was working 2 jobs and volunteering and playing pickleball. I was extremely active and always on the go. My neck did not hurt at all it was just tingling in my hand.
I was scared to death but the doctor is the doctor. I did get a second opinion but from another surgeon and they wanted to do the same thing and kept referring to the original doctor. Because with insurance when you go to the 2nd doctor they see exactly what the first doctor said.
I was never confident in the doctor he was bully, but was continually told he was the best I tried to cancel the surgery a few days before and the doctor started screaming at me he would put in my medical record that I refused his medical advice. His tone and attitude were you will never get this fixed if I put this on your medical record. So like a fool I went ahead and had the surgery. When in the moment is different then looking outside.
The exact same nightmare which I am still in of pain and not being able to function. Every time I would take this up with the doctor they acted like I was crazy. They said "Its so unusual for patients to be any pain after the operation and don't bother making an appointment until a year from surgery. " So they make you feel like its your fault you did something wrong.
I too feel like a burden can't work can't function around the home. My neck is constantly in pain and like Ozzy I can only hold my head up for so long. I have done physical therapy, massage, acupuncture and pain clinic nothing really helps. I can't believe what a whisper of a person I used to be.
I can't afford to go the Mayo Clinic but I certainly don't begrudge being able to. Did Ozzy ever get any relief did they do another surgery I can't tell from the interview. If you could reply that would be so great. Any silver of help would be appreciated.
I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. My spine was very narrow. My Dr. said if I didn't have the surgery I would be paralyzed, if I fall or in a accident. I believed him. He said I would go home the same day. My surgery started at 5.30 in the morning till 7.30 at night. The next morning when I woke up I saw that I couldn't move from my neck down. I was Paralyzed from my neck down, I couldn't move my hands or my legs. My Dr. said I will get better slowly. I was in the ICU for a month, in the rehab for 2 months. I had to learn how to Walk again. It has been 6 years, I am still paralyzed with a lot of pain, burning, stabbing, numbness, pins and needles you name it I have it. No meds takes the pain away, 24 hrs in pain. I rely on everyone to do everything for me, I use to do everything by myself. The Dr says it will get worse, but I keep trying to do as much as I can. Only God knows the outcome. I keep trying.
“The list of drugs he was on was unbelievable.” We’re talking about Ozzy, right? Lol 😂
"I'm a f**king junkie, man!"
I have been injured terribly by the health care system…..Ozzie’s operation made him worse. He had a chance to heal prior to the surgery, now he has been permanently crippled by a surgeon and that is that! He is literally mourning the death of his body and lifestyle while he is alive…..I have been dealing with it for 6 years now and it is heartbreaking. Ozzie, do not give up and keep fighting….you have a lot to live for! ❤❤❤
Indeed. You do not give up and take care as well!
@@cachelesssociety5187 Thank you….I am really trying so hard. 😪
@@deniselebeau9874 I had platelet rich plasma and it has helped my spinal condition - also use of posture pumps. Things that the majority of doctors don't talk about. I learned in my early twenties not to blindly trust - after a doctor made a horrible "mistake" and operated on the wrong thing. I know without holistic healthcare contacts and some money it can be literally deadly to have an otherwise treatable bout or condition. Do take care and may everyone here pray for you.
😊
I feel so bad for Ozzy. . he reminds me of my Dad and what he's going through w/his back situation.💗
Ozzy is a legend and lucky to have such a caring wife x
bro i love how he just curses like if it’s no one’s business in interviews i love it😂😂😂😂
Love you OZZY thanks for all the great music over the years!
Ozzy, you ARE NOT a burden. You owe us nothing, you have already given us everything. Retire, take it easy and enjoy your life. Do what you want, when you want.
Ozzy is going to have better times from now on, I really do hope. We'll be seeing him for another decade or two.
So sorry for your loss of quality of life for both you and your family. Prayers for your pain and suffering to leave you.
When you have a family member that is suffering endlessly, that suffering is transposed into the family. Everyone involved in daily life is drained emotionally and worn thin.
Not true at all
So what your saying is they'll be glad when Ozzy's dead
Love to The Osbourne Family. Love to you Ozzy🤘
I feel you, Ozzy…I have had three hernia surgeries and a new one just appeared. 4 surgeries in a year…the surgeon that did the three should be questioned on his experience…
Had many myself. Hate to say. Seems you have need more.
Ozzy is the literal meaning of legend fucking love this guy
6:36 "I'm not done yet" I love this man so much! Sending prayers!
Ozzy, you will never be a burden to anyone.
My poor baby Ozzy, many prayers and love❤ sent to you I been with you for the last 45 years still love you and your music 💕❤️❤️get well soon I look forward to seeing you again 👏👍😀🤘rock on! ❤️💕🤘
I wish you both the best with support and love
Nothing but love and respect for Ozzy...hope he finds some kind of relief. I live with constant pain as well (soo many of us do) some days its crippling. Hes enyertained us all for so damn long..god bless. People like to talk a little bit on Sharon but she is the ultimate ride or die...took him from a broken down mess to a king and has kept him there for decades and kept the family together. God bless Sharon as well
Iv always really liked Sharon and Ozzy is legend and super funny .Lovely family
Damn, Ozzy 😢 You are such a fighter!!! I love you Man!!!
Bless you Ozzy, I saw you twice and you were just awesome to watch You have touched so many and brought so much joy. We love you.
My dad reminds me of him. He had a car crash and had to deal with neck injuries. He was so out of it all the time until he passed. His doctors put him on so many painkillers, he got hooked. They knew of my dads past substance abuse issues, but nope they prescribed him heavy duty meds. I tried to get him into weed to ween him off the meds. He would always take the pills before weed. He passed 3 years ago from an overdose, I found him. Only 63. Brutal times for me
My dad also had a car crash that ended up with neck injuries. I'm very sorry for your loss, man.
@@Schooliday appreciate it dude
Aww man Ozz. I'm so sorry. I know that pain is the worst. You take care of you man. We love you
Hearing him say he felt he was a burden broke my whole damn heart.
The Blizzard of Oz!!! What a great performer... You said your mind is good, you still want to sing, sit in a comfortable chair and do what you do best... Never give up!!!! We are all here for you..... We can wait as long as you want.... Please take care..🙏🙏🙏😌😌😌❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹🌹🌹......
I feel with Ozzy. They messed up my mother´s spine in hospital badly, too - not by a bad surgery, but by the oldest and most uncomfortable hospital bed I´ve seen in my entire life and that she had to use for almost a week. Which resulted in a bad case of disc hernia. I will never forget the look of agonizing pain on her pale face, bathed in cold sweat. It took her weeks before she could sit up again, and months before she could walk again relatively free from pain.
Same thing in 2012 when my mother had surgery on her neck/spine. Really tough to see her in pain like that
I’ve never been in a comfortable hospital bed in my life. I don’t think they make any.
I'm thankful for the Doctor who did my Neck surgery. I lost the ability to lift my arms due to bone on bone in my neck. He put the pins in and yes it takes many months to heal, but today I'm 62 and back at work. Thanks to a great Doctor.
Ozzy is such an amazing person!! What an absolute LEGEND!! It will be one very sad day when he leaves us! RESPECT 👊
I broke my back when I was 25 I’m 18 years on painkillers and I’m so sick of this crap. Damn how do you do it ozzy
As a current addict let me say…PAIN MEDICATION MAKES PAIN WORSE!
God bless you Ozzy and Sharon,i know what it's like to live in pain every day,i have been a fan for over 50 years
Thanks for the great video 👍 OZZY is my rock God forevermore! ❤ sending luv and light to him and his family!
Since 71 he's been my hero of rock. The first time I heard Paranoid I was floored. Nothing else like it or like him. # generation's of my family love him, 2 have seen him and I have seen him with Sabbath, Blizzard of Oz and the last show he did on no more tours. Zak Wylde took over and went through the audience playing and leaving us in awe as Ozzy disappeared behind the curtain for a while. I too have a neck so bad that the #4 Neck surgeon called it toast. He wouldn't operate and I suffer tremendously but he knew it wouldn't help. Ya play, ya pay! I love you Ozzy and the world we definitely be a smaller place without you! Praying for you and yours.
I feel you Ozzy ... I haven't been pain free since I was 19 yrs old. 3 back surgeries-tried everything. I'm done surgically. ❤ you Ozzy, pain warrior!
GOD BLESS OZZY OSBOURNE AND HIS FAMILY MUCH PEACE AND HEALTH TO HIM AND HIS FAMILY.
Keep it up Ozzy! You are a true legend
He looks great. I love his voice. The best concert I've ever seen.
Well that was depressing...
I love Ozzy. Love love love.
I know its not funny but the way he tells the story is hilarious.
ikrrrr especially when he curses while telling it, it just makes it even funnier 💀😭
I love ozzy and his family, they are real people no fakes and i wosh him only the best..i grew up with his music listen to it since 40 years..may god bless him 🙏💜
God bless Ozzy and appreciate his candor about his recent surgery. Thank you for saving his life Sharon.
Sometimes life gives you a really crappy hand. Hang in there Ozzy and overcome adversity.
Ozzy Osbourne you will be feeling better and I feel sorry for you and I love ❤❤❤ you and everybody loves ❤❤ you
"my brain is still there, but my body is fucked and mangled up"
I always thought it would be the other way around.
I hope he gets better soon ❤ I never thought I'd hear him sing again it was just fucking awesome.
Bless Ozzy Osbourne
I hope Ozzy gets to enjoy his final years. He's been run far past his limit for ages already, and now this health scare thing... good luck to ya Ozzman, thanks for being part of the rock madness that was the late 20th century
Hes extremely lucky to have such a loving wife. He's extremely lucky to be alive.
You’re awesome Ozzy! Please perform again!
Ozzy should keep focusing on doing albums. Gigs last for one day but an album will last forever
I love Ozzy, this is breaking my ❤️💜🎼🎼🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶🎶🫂🫂😎
Imagine being a doctor and thinking it's ok to prescribe 60 pills to Ozzy of all people
That our medical system, pills, pills and surgeries
Whats more drugs to him?
This just devastates me to see Ozzy like this. Especially when I can completely relate. massive hernia between c3 and c4 the want to stick me or surgery and I'm like hell no. Considering I have no liver on top of it all. hey all not a pity party, just one hell of a party while it lasted.
I had that very surgery 4 years ago.
Ozzy as a lifelong Artist, has a Need to create and to Perform. Most Artists do. Especially when they’ve performed as long as he has. My Dad was a multi-talented artist and had an almost compulsion to create. If he didn’t make something for a while he started to feel physically unwell. It’s a thirst an artist must quench.
He's 74 now and a legend always.
Poor Ozzy! Doctors botched me to thankfully I recoverd love ya Ozzy! Hang in there🙏💀
i listen to at least one ozzy song a day, have had basically my whole life, god bless ozzy
Sharon is such a good soul I think she’s keeping ozzy alive
Sharon court's fame through ozzy 😮
Greatest singer and prince of darkness!! 🤘🤘
God Bless You Ozzy !!! We Love You !
my C5/C6 fusion was crucial to my ability to walk. it was nothing short of a miracle how much better I was. Glad you are still rockin, oh dark one!
Ozzy is a trouper, man will still find a way to go on tour. What a legend
To hear that this was caused by an unnecessary elective surgery is horrendous. The amazing over prescription of drugs is something that many people with loved ones know about all to well. I had a doctor tell me how great my wife's tests were when the medication he had her on, had made her bedridden. I wanted to break every bone in his pretty face, when he smiled at me about those tests. We got her off that medicine and I got my wife back, moving around on her own. I never looked at doctors the same again. I am always grateful for the pains God gives me because men can sure fxxx people up way worse than God would ever try to do. I hope Ozzy gets a break with his new doctors and these new neck appliances he has in his neck, but we need to say a prayer for the old fella. No matter what happens, I wish Ozzy and Sharon the best.
Pain,sickness,and desth never comes from God.The source of all that, and the messed up condition of the world,is Lucifer.
Hang in there Ozzy 💪...🙏
