‘I’m Not Dead’: Ozzy Osbourne Dismisses Health Concerns and Slams Death Hoax Video

Rock and roll legend Ozzy Osbourne slammed online rumors of his death and dismissed concerns about his health in a recent podcast episode alongside his family.

Osbourne made the comments during the Tuesday episode of “The Osbournes Podcast” where the former Black Sabbath vocalist told his family that he discovered an online video claiming he had died.

“I put it on and I died!” Osbourne said. “The thing on YouTube, which goes, ‘Celebrities Who Have Died Today,’ and there’s a picture of me.”

As the rest of his family appeared concerned over the reports, Osbourne referenced a joke from Monty Python and the Holy Grail, adding, “I’m not dead. I’m not really dead … just a little flesh wound.”

Osbourne also expressed frustration over reports that he is close to death or “dead-ish.” Earlier this year, he announced he was canceling all of his European tour dates to receive treatment for his health issues, including Parkinson’s disease.

His son, Jack Osbourne, agreed with his father claiming that the podcast allows fans to see the rock legend in a more healthy light.

He added, “What’s been really good about the podcast, I’ve noticed that whenever any of the shit newspapers or whatever write, ‘Oh, Ozzy’s brink of death’ or whatever and they get him papped like walking into a doctor’s appointment, if you read the comments, everyone’s like, ‘This is bullshit. You should listen to him on the podcast. He’s fucking fine. These people are fucking liars. Stop writing fake news.'”

Osbourne concluded, “I’m not dead. I’m not going any-fucking-where and I’m going to go do some more gigs before I’m finished anyway.”
