Ozzy Osbourne has been diagnosed with Covid, according to TMZ. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, revealed the news on her TV show, The Talk UK, and said, “Ozzy was only diagnosed — it was middle of the night our time. But I spoke to him and he’s okay. I am very worried about Ozzy right now. We’ve gone two years without him catching Covid and it’s just Ozzy’s luck he would get it now.”
Sharon, who was diagnosed with Covid back in December 2020, spoke of how she’ll greet Ozzy, who’s battling Parkinson’s disease, upon getting home: “(I will) hold him and kiss him with about three masks on, I think. My family is my life.”
In recent years, Ozzy Osbourne, who’s now 73, has dealt with a seemingly non-stop string of health issues — including a nasty fall, the onset of Parkinson’s disease, multiple staph infections, pneumonia, the flu, and a burst blood vessel in his eye.
