Ozzy had been suffering from Parkinson's disease for several years, along with several other health issues.

"There are so many different types of Parkinson's. It's not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination but it does affect the nerves in your body. It's like you'll have a good day, then a good day, and then a really bad day."
