Concerns over Ozzy Osbourne’s health have only grown — for both fans and family.
Sharon Osbourne sometimes has a very sharp tonguebut she had a sensitive message to share with fans. And an apology.
(AND that time, it was not an apology to one of his most outrageous scandalsbut because of some grim family news)

Family apologizes, but Ozzy Osbourne and his health come first
Taking to Twitter on Wednesday, June 26, Sharon Osbourne apologized to her fans.
She had, to her chagrin, to cancel an appearance at an upcoming festival.
Mad Monster Party is a horror and science fiction convention in Phoenix, Arizona. Previously, a meet-and-greet there for the Osbournes would have cost a tasteful $666.

Some members of the Osbourne family will still be there. Okay, just one – Jack Osbourne, 38.
However, at the moment, Ozzy Osbourne cannot fly. This is a medical recommendation.
As a result, Sharon and Kelly Osbourne have pulled out of the family appearance. Still, Sharon is at pains to emphasize that Jack will still be there as she explains the change of plans.
The Osbourne Family Sends Their Regrets (and Refunds)
“Unfortunately, the Osbourne family has to cancel our upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix,” she announced, “because Ozzy is unable to travel at this time.”
Sharon emphasized: “However, Jack will be there flying the flag for the Osbournes.”
On a more practical note, she added: “Everyone who purchased the Osbourne package will, of course, receive a full refund.”

“We would like to thank everyone for their continued support of Ozzy,” Sharon Osbourne expressed amid concerns about her husband’s health.
She emphasized, “It means so much to him, you have no idea.”
Sharon reiterated: “All I can do is apologize for not being there and I sincerely apologize to the people we let down. So, God bless you all. Thank you very much.”

What’s Causing Ozzy Osbourne’s Health Concerns?
In 2019, Ozzy Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. He released this health news to the public in 2020.
Parkinson’s is a long-lasting neurodegenerative disease and can express itself in different ways in different patients. Ozzy suffers from nerve pain, depression and dangerous blood clots.
In 2023, Ozzy underwent surgery — one of a series of surgeries following a bathroom fall in 2019. This injury (which caused complications from a 2003 injury) severely impaired his mobility.

As Sharon emphasized in her Twitter post, Ozzy Osbourne clearly appreciates the way fans care about his health and care about his well-being.
It’s easy to assume that longtime celebrities take these things for granted. And at his age, many might not even blame Ozzy for just saying “sorry, I can’t make it, bye.”
But his fans — and fans of the Osbourne family as a whole (some of us remain Kelly Osbourne Fans most of all) are happy that Ozzy is following medical advice and avoiding flights at the moment. Meanwhile, Jack’s fans are in for a surprise.
