Ozzy Osbourne has said he was in so much pain while recovering from spine surgery, that he believed he was going to die.
The Black Sabbath frontman, 71, added that he thought his family were hiding the fact he was dying from him.
Ozzy has had multiple hospitalisations over the years, including neck surgery, enduring the flu and has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
The singer said he was enduring so much pain during his recovery that he was sure he was going to die and his wife Sharon Osbourne and family were trying to hide it from him.
During an interview with SiriusXM, Ozzy said: “I’m not back to 100 percent. I’m about 75 percent there, but it’s such a slow recovery.

“There was a point I was convinced that I was dying. I was in that much discomfort and pain and misery. I thought they were all hiding it from me.
“I remember saying to [wife] Sharon, “You’ve gotta level with me. Is it worse than you’re making it out [to be]?” She says, ‘No.”

He had been hiding his condition for a year, but went public with his diagnosis in January this year.
The star told Good Morning America: “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.
“A year ago I was in a terrible state. I’m on a host of medication , mainly for the surgery.

“I’ve got numbness down this arm and my legs are going cold. I don’t know if it’s the Parkinson’s or what. That’s the problem.”
Ozzy and his X Factor star wife Sharon, 67, have been married since 1982.
They share children Aimee, 36, Kelly, 35 and Jack, 34.
The rock singer is also father to Louis, Jessica and Elliot from his previous marriage to Thelma Riley.
