“Ozzy Osbourne died on the way to the hospital”: Various videos on YouTube claim that the Godfather of Metal is dead. The singer spoke about the fake clips in the podcast “The Osbournes Podcast” and made it clear that he is still alive – and wants to play concerts before his death.
“There are so many sick motherfuckers out there.”
“The Osbournes Podcast,” in which four members of the Osbourne family (Ozzy Osbourne, his wife Sharon Osbourne and their children Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne) talk weekly about “pop culture, rock ‘n’ roll nostalgia and everything else.” “No matter what else comes to mind,” Ozzy Osbourne addresses the numerous YouTube videos that declare him dead. “I’m not dead,” he declared. “I’m not going anywhere, damn it.”
The Prince of Darkness turned 75 in December and is struggling with numerous health problems. However, declaring him dead “is really outrageous,” Kelly Osbourne said on the podcast. “There are so many sick motherfuckers out there,” Sharon Osbourne also commented on the death hoax clips. Jack Osbourne, on the other hand, jokes: “Actually, you’re a ghost, that’s the afterlife.” The 38-year-old also shares with his family how helpful the podcast is in such situations. When faced with false reports like this, many listeners would comment: “That’s nonsense, you should listen to him on the podcast. “He’s f***ing fine” – whereupon the Osbournes start cheering.
Although the musician first announced on his social media in February that he would no longer be able to go on tour due to ongoing health problems and canceled his farewell tour, he is now making it clear: “I will play a few more gigs.” About new music and more concerts Osbourne spoke to Metal Hammer in an interview back in September. He wants to record “another album” and then “go on a concert tour again.”
