Ozzy Osbourne once suffered from a failed neck surgery and was thinking about ending her life.
“The idea that I’m not gigging anymore – I’m really depressed,” the late Prince of Darkness states in the upcoming Paramount + documentary, “Ozzy: No Escape from Now.” Every week, he adds: “I’m currently taking antidepressants.
The late Locker, who passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, underwent surgery on his neck and spine after the fall of 2019.
A neck surgery forces him to consider suicide, but he jokes that the fear of not actually completing the act prevents him from trying.
“I go there in my head and know, ‘What are you saying?’ I’ve cut it half and half dead,” he says. “I mean, I won’t die, do you know? That’s my luck.”
Elsewhere in the documentary, his wife, Sharon, 72, says that neck surgery caused a decline in the health of his locker – he was further complicated by the Parkinson’s disease diagnosis he revealed in 2020. According to a New York Post, Sharon after the failed surgery, another doctor said the procedure was “aggressive.”
According to Sharon, surgical screws and metal plates were used as “no need to do it,” and ultimately “caused more damage,” she says. She added that later doctors “trying to patch him” but “mainly harmed.”
His son Jack Osborne gets heavy with calm thoughts. “Parkinson’s disease is progressing, but the main problem is nerve damage caused by bad neck surgery,” he says. “That F-King doctor stripped him of his ability to move.”
The reality TV star, 39, says, “It makes me so mad because I felt this was all avoided.”
The patriarch of “Osbornes” passed away in July a few weeks after the black Sabbath frontman found a farewell concert for his iconic band.
“It’s more sadness than mere words that we can tell you that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne must report that she has passed away this morning,” read the statement obtained at that time.
“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of our family at this point: Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Amy, Louis.”
Before Ozzy’s death, her daughter, Kelly Osbourne, 40, fought back against enduring rumors that her parents had a suicide agreement.
“Stop making articles and posts about how my parents think they have a suicide agreement,” she told her followers in July. “It was a bull. My mother said it would grab attention once. And my father won’t die. Stop it.”
Sharon first made his claim in 2007. “We believe in 100% of euthanasia,” she said in an interview at the time. “(We) have planned to go to the Suicide Assisted Suicide Flat in Switzerland if there is a disease that affects the brain.”
She said, “If Ozzy or I’ve ever had Alzheimer’s (illness), that’s it.
“Ozzy: No Escape From Now” is scheduled to be released on Paramount+ on October 7th.
