Ozzy Osbourne has fully embraced modern medicine despite his ongoing health problems.
The 75-year-old Grammy winner revealed this week that he’s receiving stem cell treatments after revealing in November that doctors had discovered a tumor on his vertebrae during his fourth spinal surgery.
“I just got back from the doctor after having some stem cells implanted in me,” Osbourne told his “Ozzy Speaks” co-host Billy Morrison on their SiriusXM radio show. “The thing is, you have it and you think, 'I'm not doing so well,' but I don't know what it would be like if I didn't have it.”
According to The Prince of Darkness, the treatments – which he described as “something like a super stem cell” – “are also quite expensive.”
Osbourne said he’ll return for follow-up treatment “in about six months.”
Morrison revealed that he had also undergone stem cell treatments for “hip problems” that caused him difficulty getting out and in of his automobile: “I couldn't tie my own shoelaces, so I had injections right there, five.” of it, and.” it’s gone. It fixed the issue.”

Last week, it was announced that the bat-biting “Crazy Train” singer could be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2024 as a solo artist, marking his second entry following Black Sabbath's induction in 2006.
