Sharon revealed the news on the June 8 episode of her London-based TV program, The Talk.
“[Ozzy] has a very major operation on Monday,” explained Sharon, “and I have to be there and it's really going to determine the rest of his life. The next thing is my son is also going to have a daughter in about three weeks, and also it's our 40th wedding anniversary on the first of July.”
Ozzy – who revealed in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease – has dealt with a number of health issues in recent years, including pneumonia, a flu that landed him in hospital, and a 2019 fall at his Los Angeles home that aggravated years-old back and shoulder injuries from a 2003 ATV accident and led to neck surgery that added further complications.
"I got a numbness down this arm for the surgery; my legs keep going cold," Ozzy shared on ABC-TV’s Good Morning America in January 2021. "I don't know if that's the Parkinson's or what, you know, but that's — see, that's the problem. Because they cut nerves when they did the surgery. I'd never heard of nerve pain, and it's a weird feeling."
Ozzy has rescheduled UK and European dates on his farewell tour multiple times since his health issues flared up, with shows currently still scheduled for 2023.
