Legendary singer Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he does not expect to live longer than 10 years due to the health problems he has faced in recent years.
Osbourne, 74, gave Rolling Stone a conversation he had with his wife Sharon Osbourne, who expressed concern when she saw him smoking a marijuana cigarette.
“How long do you want me to live? At best, I have 10 years left, and when you’re older, time speeds up,” she recalled.
The Black Sabbath leader said he feels lucky to be alive and is surprised to be “the last man standing” among his close friends.
“I’ve been reflecting a lot while I’ve been in bed, and all my drinking buddies, I realized they’re all dead! The cemetery is full of them! ”She asserted.
Osbourne, who has an assisted suicide pact with Sharon, said that he is not afraid of dying, but that he does not “want to have a long, painful and miserable existence.”
Last September, Ozzy underwent a fourth surgery related to structural damage to his spine he sustained after a fall in 2019.
“It’s pretty hard, man, and my balance is really bad,” he told the magazine.
Although he announced his retirement from touring due to his health, Ozzy Osbourne expressed the desire to perform some concerts to say goodbye to his loyal fans.
“That’s one of the things I’ve been most angry about: I never had the chance to say goodbye or say thank you,” the rocker said.
