Ozzy Osbourne is undergoing what’s been described as life changing surgery on Monday (June 13th), according to wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne.
Last month, the 73-year-old Ozzy Osbourne revealed to Classic Rock magazine he would soon be undergoing yet another neck surgery for a quad bike injury he suffered in 2003. Osbourne explained, “I’m just waiting on some more surgery on my neck. I can’t walk properly these days. I have physical therapy every morning. I am somewhat better, but nowhere near as much as I want to be to go back on the road.”
There’s no definitive word as to whether the neck surgery is the specific reason he’ll be going under the knife next week.
