Osbourne suffered from Parkinson's disease
The family of the deceased did not disclose the cause of his death. It is known that in the last years of his life, Osbourne struggled with several ailments, the most serious of which was Parkinson's disease. Additionally, the musician suffered from the consequences of an incident in 2019 when he fell at home while visiting the restroom and sustained serious injuries. At that time, Osbourne was also suffering from pneumonia and canceled his world tour. Until recently, he had not performed on stage since then.
In the last six years, Osbourne underwent four surgeries. The injuries he sustained in 2019 exacerbated the rocker's health issues, which began over 20 years ago after a quad bike accident. Three weeks before his death, the legendary rocker gave his farewell concert.
