Ozzy Osbourne, 75, seen ‘preparing’ for an autograph signing session in heartbreaking video amid health woes

Ozzy Osbourne prepared for an upcoming meet-and-greet appearance in a video shared on social media by his son Jack Osbourne.

The 75-year-old Black Sabbath frontman — who has returned to using marijuana after a past struggle with addiction  — was recorded using a blue stretch band and practicing signing autographs.

He wore a black T-shirt and his disheveled, graying, shoulder-length hair fell around his face in the clip.

The Crazy Train hitmaker — who was spotted looking frail in a wheelchair in September as his health ails — shakily scribbled his John Hancock on a white canvas as Jack, 38, encouraged him to go ‘faster, faster.’

In an Instagram caption, he wrote to his 889,000 followers: ‘We are in full [autograph] training mode for @monsterpaloozaofficial Saturday October 12th and Sunday October 13th only.⁣⁣’

Ozzy’s heavily tattooed arms were exposed in the snippet, and he wore gold bracelets, rings, and a necklace with cross pendants. 

The metal musician, who relies on a wheelchair and crutches and suffers from Parkinson’s, recently admitted to consuming weed ‘from time to time.’

He said on his Madhouse Chronicles podcast: ‘I am happier, but I am not completely sober. I use a bit of marijuana from time to time.’

The star praised his longtime partner Sharon Osbourne, 71, for being the motivation to keep him from falling back into old habits.

‘I am lucky my wife kicks my butt all the time and she would make life so difficult. Even with marijuana — she will f***ing find it and get rid of it,’ he shared with listeners.

The father-of-six said elsewhere in the episode: ‘I went to a doctor recently and started to have this ketamine.

‘He put a tiny bit in me, but that was enough to spark me. That thing came back and weighted my brain.’

He also confessed that Alcoholics Anonymous ‘got me sorted out to a certain degree. I do not go to meetings myself anymore,’ adding, ‘Maybe I should go, I don’t know.’

On a July episode of The Osbournes podcast, which co-stars the couple’s kids Kelly and Jack, Sharon said, ‘It just seems that every time we’re set to go [back to England], something happens with Ozzy’s health.’ 

The patriarch of the Osbourne family has undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023.

And he has suffered from Parkinson’s disease since 2003.

‘I don’t want to die in America,’ Ozzy shared with The Observer in August 2022, referencing a famous Los Angeles cemetery.

‘I don’t want to be buried in f*****g Forest Lawn. I’m English. I want to be back. … It’s just time for me to come home,’ he stated.
