I'm pretty sure Kelly looks different every time I see her photographed.

I feel sorry for him.

[TheDevil]

Yes, I feel sorry for him of course, as I would anyone finding out they have a disease. However, is it not a mirical he's still alive as it is?

[Mamyalynne]

He is loved and has excellent support, I wish him well.

Truth. How folk like Ozzy, Keith Richards and Shane MacGowan have survived so long is nothing short of a miracle.

[TheDevil]

He is a national treasure.

While it is definitely sad news for The Prince of Darkness and his family, I wonder just what symptoms he was showing for his doctor to make the diagnosis. For years now, Ozzy has had a permanent shake, a slurred speech and an unsteady gait. Actually just heard him on 5 o'clock news on Radio 2 and he does sound very, very weak. However, he is apparently back in the studio recording another album. Rock on Ozzy!

He is touring this autumn, so his diagnosis is not holding him back!!

[AuntPollyGrey]

I bet its alcohol related.

APG aren't you just a little ray of sunshine.

The symptoms have obviously been there for some time. But it doesn't make Ozzy any less "bright". He always had a great homespun turn of phrase, which is in some ways a trait of an entertainer. Rock on Ozzy.

[Lie-in King]

A legend, I wish him & his family all the best.

my OH was once a temporary minder for him, about 50 years ago. Apparently he was a real sweetie, though prone to vanishing on his bike without warning.

[Mozz71]

We have our disagreements Togo, but dammit, you've got yourself BA there son!

Christ Almighty, you're a misery. Every post I see of yours is either argumentative, complaining or simply rude about someone.

[Tuvok]

I remember hearing/reading years ago that his shakes etc. were not due to his drug use but rather something related to Parkinsons - and possibly it was a heredity or genetic thing.

Haha Ta Mozz.....Son??????

“My father always said I would do something big one day.‘I’ve got a feeling about you, John Osbourne,’ he’d tell me, after he’d had a few beers.‘You’re either going to do something very special, or you’re going to go to prison.’
And he was right, my old man.

I was in prison before my eighteenth birthday.”

I can't help but like Ozzy. He seemed to have been jittery for years. Always wondered if he might have Parkinson's Disease. Hope he can manage the symptoms well, continue to make music and be happy.
