Ozzy Osbourne expresses his desire to perform at his solo induction ceremony into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. However, he mentions that he is still awaiting medical clearance. During the latest episode of the Ozzy Speaks series on SiriusXM, he provided a health update to co-host Billy Morrison.
I’d like to do a gig without falling over now [but] one surgeon [is] taking his time
Osbourne is fighting against Parkinson’s and also pain associated with a string of back surgeries. Asked by Billboard if he’d perform at October’s Rock Hall ceremony, Osbourne could only say:
You never know.
Morrison then asked him;
Is there an achievement that you haven’t got yet that you would like?
To which Osbourne replied
Oscar.
Morrison continued:
Well, you’ve got to be in a movie to do an Oscar.
And yet Ozzy said:
You asked me what award I haven’t gotten. No, Elton John got one for a song.
