Is the Prince of Darkness still with us? Against all odds, and despite a litany of health challenges that would have felled a lesser mortal, Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath and a monumental solo artist, remains a vital force. He continues to defy expectations, clinging to life with the same tenacious grip he once held a microphone.
The man who once bit the head off a bat and redefined the boundaries of rock and roll excess, now faces a different kind of battle. In recent years, Ozzy Osbourne has been increasingly candid about his health struggles, offering fans an inside look at his fight against Parkinson's disease, a diagnosis he publicly revealed in 2020. This revelation came after years of speculation and quiet battles, including a significant fall in 2019 that required multiple surgeries. Yet, with his characteristic dark humor and unwavering spirit, Ozzy has faced these challenges head-on, declaring, "Im not dead!" in response to a recent online death hoax. As of May 2025, the answer remains a resounding yes: Ozzy Osbourne is still alive, a testament to his resilience and the enduring power of rock 'n' roll.
