Ozzy Osbourne intended to play at this weekend’s Power Trip festival in California, but the 74-year-old singer had to pull out of the show due to health setbacks.
“Ozzy wants to be on that show with all his friends,” his wife Sharon said. “It’s heartbreaking for him to see everybody going on, and he’s just left behind.”
Last month, Ozzy revealed that he was scheduled for another surgery, but he still intends to perform live next year sometime.
On the latest episode of “The Osbournes” podcast, Ozzy said he’s going to try tai chi as a way to boost his health and improve his mobility.
“It’s good for balance. It’s a new adventure,” he said. “I wanna get back. All options are open for me now.”
Tai chi is a low-impact, slow motion form of martial arts designed to focus on breathing patterns, mental focus and relaxation.
Ozzy is optimistic about his next procedure, but Sharon clarified that the couple doesn’t know if surgery will work or not.
“I said to the doctor yesterday, you know what I’ve heard, which I have, people have discs replaced that are worked on and they become the strongest things in the bone,” Ozzy said.
“In my back, the two discs, and the muscles on my shoulders have separated from my skeleton, and that’s why I lean forward as it’s like gravity is bringing my head forward.”
