Ozzy Osbourne

Saw this posted on Facebook, and can't find anything to back up this one single article, so I hope it's total bullshit.

Doesn't really sound legit. I doubt Sharon would fly hAlf way around the world if he was really that sick. Most likely clickbait.....I hope!

I think it's clickbait.

I'm sure it is too. I have had bad feelings he doesn't have long to go, but this article just screams fake.

Looks fake.

I call B.S.

I saw that on my GOOGLE FUCKING NEWSFEED this morning. Sketchy website article that lists unnamed sources full of exclamation marks everywhere.

Journalism is shit these days.

I'm sure that this is bullshit but I do get a morbid feeling around Ozzy at the moment. I hope I'm wrong.

Well, now he's confused has Parkinson's disease. Haven't had time to read the whole thing, but sounds like he's been pretty bad off with it. Not surprising with the way he talks and walks these days.

I read the article rather quickly. Yes he has Parkinson. That's too bad, since it is an irreversible disease.

That made me feel very sad. One after the other, the heroes of our youth are fading away.

The video brought a tear. It is sad, but he's determined to tour again. Not sure how he will do it, but if anyone can, it's him.

Well , if he's now with the Parkinson disease , he could try this awesome treatment with Medical Marijuana ...

Ozzy has cancelled his North American tour.

I listened to Ordinary Man today. In terms of song writing it is easily some of the best hooks featured on his albums in years. I mean every track is memorable. The downside is that it is by far the worst guitar work that has ever accompanied his voice. Some of the solos are so annoying I don't want to listen to the second half of the song.

This is pretty much what I've been predicting. The guitar work I've heard in the singles is wannabe-shred like a bad joke. I seriously would not mind meeting the guitarist and directly telling him, "dude, this is not your arena and you know it."

It's bad. Really really bad. And the songwriting deserves better.

Zakk shoulda been on this one, Ozzy.

One of my favourite solos ever:

Pretty sure that Ozzy has already consumed his fair share of marijuana during his life... and my fair share, and your fair share, and his fair share, and her fair share...

Pretty much. He's probably immune to it by now.

Ozzy needs to completely retire from the road. Just record studio albums and occasionally play a show if he’s up to it. All these mishaps are a sign for him to slow down.

Even Zakk had to make major changes and get sober after he almost died a while back.

I listened to Ozzy speaks on the Boneyard on the way to work this morning and he talked about it. I can hear it in his voice that he is really sad about cancelling again, but just doesn't want to embarrass himself. I don't want to see that either.

That Boneyard channel is without argument the best station on XM. Terrific picks no matter what time of the day, and I love it when Ozzy makes his appearances. Man, I might just have that channel on indefinitely after his death.

And, off-topic, but that damn Hair Nation station is a JOKE. It's a terrible callback to the worst that classic rock radio has had to offer, and I don't get the point of them playing Poison and Warrant ballads every. fucking. hour. I've though about posting about this around here but figured only few members listen to XM. Sorry, don't want to steer things off-track, but I've needed to get that off my chest. Anyway, all hail the Ozzman.

I hope Ozzy will be around as long as possible. A true metal icon .

If you take a glance at the artists he has worked with in the past, it should come as absolutely no surprise.
