Ozzy Osbourne says he is stunned he is still alive while so many of his heavy-drinking rock icon party pals have died.
The former hellraiser said his own doctors are staggered that he remains rocking after a series of health scares.
Famous drinking buddies including Motorhead’s Lemmy, AC/DC’s Bon Scott and Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham have passed away.

Ozzy, 74, declared: “I should have been dead a long time ago.

“When I get a physical from my doctor [he says] I should not be here.”
He added: “I used to go drinking with John Bonham and Bon Scott.
“You could not out drink Bonham – he was f***ing mad. He would drink himself into another planet.”
Ozzy spoke on his Sirius radio show, where he also declared the best person he ever partied with – was himself.
He previously cancelled his No More Tours 2 run last month, citing physical incapacity.

However, the rocker s determined to come out of retirement and get back on stage, even if he has to perform in a wheelchair.
According to insiders, he is “so upset and annoyed” at being unable to play live that he is already considering a comeback.
“Ozzy is refusing to give up on his hope of getting on stage despite his statement last month,” said a source close to the Brummie singer.

He has declared: “I am gonna f***ing get back on stage.”
The source added: “He still has issues with his balance and cannot stand unaided for long periods of time on his legs.
“It frustrates him that doing a full 90-minute show, filled with his famous stage stomping and crowd interactive moves, is off the table.
“But he is considering doing gigs in a throne, like what Axl did in 2016 with Guns’N’Roses. He was really impressed by that move. And he feels Phil [Collins] showed that audiences do resonate with you.”
