Iconic heavy metal frontman Ozzy Osbourne will be undergoing surgery today (Monday, June 13) to remove and realign pins in his back and neck.
Someone within the Osbourne camp told Page Six that there will be a “lengthy amount of convalescence” after the procedure, and Ozzy will will need a nurse at home to assist in his recovery.
The source added: “Ozzy is 73 and any kind of surgery when you get older is difficult. This is quite major. He’s having the pins in his neck and back realigned from when he had a fall back in 2019.
“He’s been in a lot of pain.”
Just last week, Ozzy’s wife and manager Sharon Osbourne revealed that the Ozzman would be undergoing a “major operation” which will “determine the rest of his life.”
Sharon announced on U.K.’s “The Talk” on Wednesday (June 8) that she would be flying to Los Angeles to be by Ozzy’s side through his operation and recovery.
She also said that she didn’t know if she and Ozzy would be doing anything special for their upcoming 40th wedding anniversary in July, saying “[It] depends on everything with Ozzy,”.
