Ozzy Osbourne's Tragic Health Journey Revealed in Heartbreaking Documentary

In the years leading up to his passing in July 2025, legendary rock star Ozzy Osbourne faced a devastating health journey, as revealed in the new documentary "Ozzy: No Escape from Now." The film, shot between 2021 and 2025, captures Osbourne's struggle with severe pain, depression, and the effects of Parkinson's disease following complications from a neck surgery in 2019.

Two years after the 2019 surgery, Ozzy began to notice himself growing weaker, and his wife Sharon revealed that the surgeon had "caused even more damage" by adding unnecessary metal plates. Ozzy's son Jack was outraged, saying the surgeon "stripped him of his abilities to move," and that the Parkinson's was progressing due to the nerve damage from the failed operation.

In the documentary, Ozzy himself admitted that some days he "wishes he was dead" due to the unbearable pain. He also spoke about falling into a deep depression over the prospect of not being able to perform live again. Despite his health challenges, Ozzy remained determined to get back on stage, even if he had to be "nailed to a board and wheeled on."

Tragically, Ozzy's health continued to deteriorate, and he passed away in July 2025, just weeks after his final "Back to the Beginning" show in Birmingham, UK. The documentary provides a heartbreaking glimpse into the rock legend's final years, showcasing the devastating setbacks he faced and the central role music played in his life until the very end.
