Ozzy Osbourne has admitted he's "nearly f------ dead" – but the rocker insists he "had a f------ great time".

Ozzy Osbourne has suffered from health problems since 2003.
RadarOnline.com can reveal despite the the Black Sabbath frontman, 75, battling killer illnesses including Parkinson’s, he is staying upbeat, saying in his first chat since it emerged he is back on drugs to treat his constant pain: "If it is the end of the road, I can’t complain."
Osbourne also revealed he misses his native England and hopes to return someday, revealing that health complications prevent him from flying long distances.
He also praised his wife, Sharon, 71, and children for their steadfast support through his challenges.

Sharon, Ozzy and daughter Kelly have canceled their appearance at the Mad Monster Party.
Osbourne said: "Sharon said to me recently, 'If you had to do it over again, would you change anything?'
"I answered, 'No, I had a f------ great time.'"
The rocker continued: "I miss you guys (the UK.) I was supposed to come back a year ago but, because of my ill health and my disabilities, they won't let me. I've just spent a lot of money having some big extensions on my house near Beaconsfield (including an indoor pool) and I've never seen them."
Osbourne also revealed: "At some point, I'm definitely going to England though. If I stay there? I hope I do? Something tells me the kids will follow. Maybe Sharon will want to keep a place here and a place there, we'll see. I'm English but I'm becoming an American Brummie. I don't want to end my days in America."

Ozzy Osbourne revealed that fellow Black Sabbath alum Tony Iommi is the best guitarist he's ever played with.
Talking about his 2019 fall going to the bathroom, the Heavy Metal icon shared: "I fell over and I landed wrong. I went to the doctor's and you assume everybody knows what they're doing. My son Jack has a video of me going into surgery, saying, 'I'll see you in a few minutes.'"
He added: "I haven't walked properly since."
Osbourne called his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist: "The best news I've had in years. My last show was New Year's Eve at the L.A. Forum nearly six years ago."
He was inducted at the Saturday, October 19, ceremony in Cleveland, Ohio.
The rocker got on stage and said: "Well, here we are. You know what? I can’t believe I’m here myself. Let me get the thank yous out of the way because I’m not going to bore you with a long, drawn-out f------ monologue. I’d like to thank whoever voted me into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for my solo work. A great thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you."
