Your support makes all the difference.Ozzy Osbourne has reportedly been treated in intensive care amid fears he may have developed pneumonia.
The musician was taken to a private hospital’s critical facility after his bronchitis became progressively worse, The Sun reports.
A source said: “Poor old Ozzy hasn’t had the best of times. He’s been really struggling with flu which turned into bronchitis. Doctors feared he could contract pneumonia which, in a person over 70, can be fatal.”
“This sparked a lot of panic among those closest to him, but doctors reassured everyone he was in the best possible hands. Ozzy’s a fighter, and is getting better day by day. The worst is over, he’s smiling again, and he can’t wait to get up on stage.”
Osbourne has spent the past 11 days in hospital and is due to be released in the next week.
He has been forced to postpone his UK and European tour and will cancel his Australian dates, with the musician adding in a statement: “It just seems that since October everything I touch has turned to s***.”
