Ozzy Osbourne steps out with cane at the 2020 Grammys following Parkinson's diagnosis


Ozzy Osbourne, 71, attended the 62nd Grammy Awards ceremony alongside his daughter Kelly, 35, while his wife Sharon, 67, was interviewing other celebrities for US TV. His appearance comes days after he publicly announced he had been diagnosed with a form of Parkinson’s disease.

The rock star appeared in good spirits as he laughed and joked with others at the star-studded event, posing for photographers and grinning with his daughter.

Dressed in a signature all-black outfit, the British musician stepped out in a plain top with matching trousers, which he paired with a striped blazer coat.

Kelly sported low-cut black top, with a matching high-waisted skirt, smart blazer, and wide-brimmed black hat that complimented her vibrant purple hair.

She added chunky gold necklaces, gold hoop earrings and a small circular handbag to complete her look.

Admitting he is on a “host of medications, mainly for the surgery”, Ozzy added: “I got a numbness down this arm for the surgery, my legs keep going cold.

“I don’t know if that’s the Parkinson’s or what, you know, but that’s the problem. Because they cut nerves when they did the surgery.

“I’d never heard of nerve pain, and it’s a weird feeling.”

Sharon said they are going to see a medical professional in Switzerland in April “who deals with getting your immune system at its peak”.

Ozzy was previously diagnosed with Parkin Syndrome in 2005, an illness that has similar symptoms to Parkinson’s.

He said he’d felt ‘guilty’ hiding the diagnosis and is now ‘relieved’ to be able to talk about it.

“To hide something is hard – you never feel proper. You feel guilty. I’m no good with secrets. I cannot walk around with it anymore. It’s like I’m running out of excuses,” he said.

“I feel better now that I have owned up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson’s.”
