Ozzy said he’s “going for an epidural soon because what they’ve discovered is the neck has been fixed”. The 74-year-old singer mentioned that the pain is located in his back.
“Below the neck there’s two vertebrae where the bike hit me and disintegrated, there’s nothing left of them,” he added. “All I know is right now I’m in a lot of pain. I’m in a lot of discomfort.”
Wife Sharon Osbourne added that due to his first surgery not going to plan, his doctor is working on getting a second and third opinion.
“In my back, the two discs and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that’s why I lean forward as it’s like gravity is bringing my head forward,” Ozzy said. “I was thinking, I’ve walked like that all my life.”
Ozzy won’t be returning to the stage anytime soon
In October, Ozzy had plans to perform at Power Trip Festival but had to cancel back in July.
Taking to Instagram, he said that his initial plan was to “return to the stage in the summer of 2024”. However, he later added: “Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-[bleeped].”
Ozzy concluded: “I want to thank my fans, my band, and my crew for their unconditional loyalty and continual support. I love you all and I will see you soon.”
Get well soon, Ozzy!

Plugging the brand, son Jack, 38, tells fans: “You know our family loves sharing everything with you, and today we are sharing a little secret from the bedroom.
“It is an amazing online service that delivers the same active ingredients as Viagra.
“But here is the kicker — it is in a chewable little tiny tablet and it is a lot cheaper so you can take them anytime.”
The family explains the pill comes in a “cool little black sachet” and is delivered in a discreet brown envelope.
Listeners are told to use a code to get it for free, although they have to pay for shipping.
The promo is aimed at fans in the US only.
Besides Jack, Brummie Ozzy, 75, is joined on the show by wife Sharon, 71, and daughter Kelly, 39.
In a 2019 interview Sharon revealed she tended to nod off when Ozzy popped Viagra.
