• An Update on Ozzy’s “Life Determining” Surgery

  Sharon Osbourne revealed last week that Ozzy was due to go under the knife this past Monday for surgery that was, “really going to determine the rest of his life.”

As of Tuesday, Ozzy was discharged from the hospital after a successful procedure and Sharon Osbourne shared on Twitter that he was doing well and on the road to recovery.
