Ozzy Osbourne proved this week that he is determined to stay fit despite his mobility issues.
The iconic rocker, 74, was seen leaving an LA fitness center on Thursday and was helped out of the building by a personal trainer before an assistant walked him to his car.
Ozzy recently had spinal surgery after years of ongoing health problems and it has left him struggling to walk and needs the use of a cane.
With her gray hair down and a mask covering her nose and mouth, the star donned tracksuit bottoms and a plaid trench coat as she went about her day.
A few of Ozzy’s many tattoos peeked out from the doting dad’s coat, and the Black Sabbath frontman also rocked a series of massive rings.
The Prince of Darkness recently opened up about his mobility issues and admitted he’s worried about being able to play a massive concert in Finland next May.
During an interview with SiriusXM, he said, “It’s so hard because, I mean, I want to be there. I want to do it.
“The thing is, my head is fine, my creativity is fine, my singing is fine, but I just can’t walk much now.”
Paranoid hitmaker Ozzy explained that he struggles to come to terms with his limited movement and finds it very “frustrating”.
He continued: “The star said: ‘I can’t begin to tell you how frustrating life has become.
“It’s amazing how you go through life and one stupid thing can ruin everything for a long time. I have never been sick for so long in my life.
“When I was a heavy drinking junkie, I wouldn’t be out that long. It’s just as frustrating as hell.”
Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003, but did not reveal he had the condition until January 2020. He also suffered a fall at home in 2019, which aggravated injuries from a 2003 quad bike accident.
The star also opened up about the reboot of his show The Osbournes, admitting he was “very nervous” about the move.
“I don’t know how the Kardashians have made it this long. In the end it drove us crazy,” he noted.
But Ozzy doesn’t “regret” doing it, adding: “After three or four years, I said, ‘You know what, we’re going to lose somebody because it’s getting too crazy.’
“There’s rock and roll fame that’s pretty intense, but that level of Osborne was just incredible.
“The kids paid for it. Everyone ended up doing drugs. Jack got clean and sober on that show, Kelly got messed up on that show, I got messed up and Sharon got cancer,” he said.
Running from 2002 to 2005, the fly-on-the-wall MTV series catapulted the rocker family to stardom and paved the way for other shows following famous clans, such as Keeping Up With the Kardashians.
While the original program followed their life in LA, the BBC-commissioned reboot will allow the cameras to roll in as they settle back in the UK.
In August, Ozzy, 69, and Sharon, who married in 1982, announced they would be sending their belongings to Buckinghamshire, where they own a 20-year-old Grade II listed property, Welders House.
Confirming the new documentaries, Clare Sillery, head of documentaries at the BBC, said earlier Metro.co.uk: “Twenty years ago, the Osbournes left the UK to live in LA. Now they are going “home to relax”, back to their family home, almost as they left it all those years ago.
“In this new series, our audience will be able to follow the family as they settle back into their new life in a village in Buckinghamshire… it promises to be a fun, exciting and honest look at their new life back in the UK.”
