Ozzy Osbourne considered taking his own life after botched surgery

Ozzy Osbourne considered taking his own life due to botched neck surgery.

The 76-year-old Black Sabbath frontman, who died earlier this year following a battle with Parkinson’s and surgery pain, had thought about killing himself in 2021 because he was so depressed about his health.

Speaking in new Paramount+ documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, Ozzy can be seen saying: “The thought of not doing any gigs anymore — I went really into depression. I’m on antidepressants now, actually. Because I was getting ready to off myself at some point.”

However, he never went through with it because he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to do it.

He explained: “I’ll go there in my head and I go, ‘What are you f****** talking about?’ Because knowing me, I’d half-do it and I’d be half-dead. I mean, I wouldn’t die, you know? That’s my luck.”

Ozzy’s wife Sharon Osbourne agreed he was miserable at the time.

She said: “Some days he wishes he was dead, he’s in so much pain [that] he can’t take it. He just wishes he could go.”

In 2019, Ozzy suffered a serious fall that left his neck broken and he knew immediately that hit was serious.

He said: “You instinctively know you’ve done f****** damage.”

But his children admitted the fall was only the beginning of a nightmare for their father.

Son Jack Osbourne said: “He comes out of this surgery and he’s far worse than when he went in.”

And, daughter Kelly added: “I watched my dad go from being able to sit up to — I’m sorry to say this but I can’t think of anything else — having posture like f****** Gollum [from The Lord of the Rings].”
