Ozzy Osbourne: The singer is not afraid of death

The Black Sabbath icon Ozzy Osbourne (71, "Paranoid") recently made his Parkinson's disease public. In an interview with the British music newspaper "Kerrang!" the singer explains how it is with him: "I may be here for the next 15 years or so, not much longer."

The "Prince of Darkness" revealed that he was not "happy": "This disease killed me, but I'm still here." However, he was not afraid of dying. "To be honest, I was much more concerned with death than when I was younger," explains the 71-year-old. "I'm trying to enjoy everything now." Parkinson's is a neurological disease that causes nerve cells in the brain to die. Movements but also speaking become more difficult with time.

Music "was the best medicine"

The former front man of Black Sabbath draws great strength from his music. On February 21st his 12th studio album "Ordinary Man" will be released. "Making this album was the best medicine for me. I could do what I like to do most." Osbourne got prominent support for the new record. Among other things, Elton John (72) and US rapper Post Malone (24, "Hollywood's Bleeding") will be heard on it. In 2020 Ozzy will also make up for his canceled tour. On May 27, 2020 he will be back on stage in Atlanta for the first time. He also comes to Germany for five concerts in November and December. Maps are still available.
