Since revealing his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020, Ozzy Osbourne has been transparent about his ongoing fight against the disease. In a recent episode of his SiriusXM show, the legendary rocker shared insights into his latest round of stem cell treatments, describing them as a "super f****** stem cell" intervention.
Despite feeling under the weather post-treatment, Osbourne remains resolute, acknowledging the uncertainty of his condition without this innovative therapy.
The former Black Sabbath member recently appeared in the latest episode of his SiriusXM show Ozzy Speaks with Billy Morrison, where he shared details about the treatments that he's going through to recover from his illness.
"I've just come back from the doctor after having some stem cells put in me," he said of the current state of his health.

He told his co-host that after having the treatment, he didn't feel "that great," but he also acknowledged that he's unsure about what his condition would be like if he never had stem cell therapy.
"It's kind of like a super f****** stem cell, you know? They put three bottles in me this morning. I had one about three months ago and this was a follow-up, and I've got to go in about six months from now," he added. (via Consequence)
