So, sorry to hear that, hope you get well Oz-Man.

So he retires from touring. He can still write songs if he wants to stay in the music biz.
The reason Ozzy was so foolish on the reality show is because, self admittedly, he was drunk during all of the shooting. I don't know if alcoholism caused the disease or not. Any Dr,'s in the house?
Watching Lemmy tour during his final year was horrible. It was obvious he was extremely sick.Quote

I last saw Ozzy live 10+ years ago and he was already a shell of his former self. Ozzy has nothing left to prove. Don't kill yourself trying to get back out there, kick back and enjoy whatever you may have left.
Or he could be like Lemmy and tour until the very end.
I suppose, but that's a far cry from doing a full-blown tour of North America.Quote

Well, he must be feeling okay. He's scheduled to do a signing at the Hollywood Amoeba at 5 p.m. this Friday.

The whole notion of "dying onstage" has a foolish romanticism about it, but no fan wants to see their musical heroes wither away like that.
No, I figured as much, but there are a lot of people who celebrate the notion of rocking until the very end.Quote

To be clear I didn't mean to celebrate what Lemmy did. Seeing Lemmy up there like that was heartbreaking. I don't want to see Ozzy the same way.

Poor Ozzy, but he had a good life. Hopefully the end won't be too painful. I give him 3 years.

As someone with Parkinsons I find this post very offensive and uncaring!!!!!!
Well I guess you can't plan for something sudden like that, but Lemmy had undiagnosed brain cancer and continued to tour even though it was obvious to anyone who looked at him that he was critically ill. He somehow managed to complete his final tour and was dead two weeks later.Quote

That happened to someone I knew. Country Dick Montana of the Beat Farmers. He had beaten cancer & was back in the saddle. Was playing at Whistler ski resort in BC to a room full of rescue workers. Massive heart attack onstage, nothing could be done. I was privileged to hang out with him on his last New Year's Eve, got to know him a little & we hit it off. Awesome guy & he is missed.
