Ozzy recently revealed he is eager to return to touring after his Parkinson's diagnosis and shared that he is “taking it one day at a time”. He announced he had a 'mild version' of the degenerative disease in January 2020, before cancelling his planned February 2020 tour to allow him to seek treatment in Switzerland. Before his diagnosis, he had been left with damaged nerves from neck surgery following a bad fall.
Speaking to , the Prince of Darkness said, "I'm taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will. But it's been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life. At the start of my illness, when I stopped touring, I was really (annoyed) with myself, the doctors, and the world. But as time has gone on, I've just gone, 'Well, maybe I've just got to accept that fact."
Speaking about his Parkinson's on Good Morning America, Ozzy said his Parkinson’s diagnosis had "been terribly challenging" for his whole family. "Coming from a working-class background, I hate to let people down. I hate to not do my job," he added. Sharon, who was also present for the interview, also explained that Ozzy's journey with the disease isn't linear. "There’s so many different types of Parkinson’s," she said. "It’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body. And it’s like you have a good day, and then a really bad day."
