Ozzy Osbourne made a critical remark about Sting in his upcoming posthumous documentary ‘Ozzy: No Escape From Now’, as reported by The Sun.
In footage from the documentary, Osbourne reflected on his health struggles and career longevity before taking an unexpected jab at the fellow rock legend.
“I am really f*cked up with this body of mine and as soon as I want to do anything. I went to the doctor and there’s a blood clot. My leg is about to fall off,” he said. “But I can’t complain. I was actually rocking until I was 70 and then a trap door opened.”
The Black Sabbath frontman continued with a characteristically dark sense of humor about his mortality.
“I didn’t think I was going to live past 40. But if my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain, I’ve had a great life,” he said. “But, hey, it could have been worse. I could be Sting.”
The documentary is set to be released following Osbourne’s death.
This isn’t the only documentary capturing Osbourne’s final years. The PRP revealed that another documentary titled “Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home” aired on BBC, focusing on his health challenges and his return to the UK. That documentary was filmed over a three-year period. It captured the rock legend’s family decisions during his declining health.
The Prince of Darkness has been battling multiple health issues in recent years. These issues have significantly impacted his ability to perform. His candid remarks about his physical condition reflect the ongoing struggles he has faced since his performing days came to an end around age 70.
Osbourne’s health battles have been well-documented. The legendary rocker has been dealing with various medical complications that have forced him to step back from touring. Despite these challenges, he has maintained his characteristic dark humor and outspoken personality, as evidenced by his unexpected comment about Sting.
The reason behind Osbourne’s specific dig at Sting remains unclear. The rock icon has never been one to hold back his opinions about fellow musicians. His legacy as one of rock’s most enduring and controversial figures continues to be documented through these final projects.
