Ozzy Osbourne seriously hurt - mrlayance - 12-08-2003
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Ozzy Osbourne was seriously injured Monday in an accident while riding an all-terrain vehicle on the grounds of his British estate, according to Cindy Guagenti, a publicist for the heavy metal legend.
Guagenti said Osbourne underwent emergency surgery after breaking his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck.
She said the operation was necessary to "lift the collarbone, which is believed to be resting on a major artery interrupting blood flow to his arm."
Guagenti also said doctors were attempting to stop "some bleeding into his lungs," but she said the injuries were not considered life-threatening.
The accident took place on the 55-year-old rocker's Buckinghamshire property while he was taking a day off from promoting a new single he recorded with his daughter, Kelly.
Osbourne and his family star in a taped Christmas special airing on MTV Thursday.
The third season of their reality TV series "The Osbournes" debuts on the network in January.
In an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times, the former lead singer of Black Sabbath said his unusual behavior on "The Osbournes" was the result of a 42-pill-a-day regimen prescribed by his Beverly Hills doctor, which included anti-psychotic drugs and tranquilizers.
Osbourne said he has since fired his physician.
An attorney for the doctor told the Times the allegations were false.
Osbourne's publicist said pills had nothing to do with his accident Monday.
Osbourne made headlines in his native Britain last month when he told a newspaper he had been sexually molested as a child and suffered emotional consequences for many years afterward.
Poor Ozzy, hope he recovers

He sure is! I really have't strain to understand what he's saying. Does anyone think he may have parkinsons? It looks like it's mild for now. Or maybe it's just all the prescription drugs that he's on?

He blames the prescription drugs. Personally I think it has more to do with all the alcohol and especially (hard)drugs he pumped into his body during the last few decades.... :?
Haven't heard anything about him being drunk when the accident happened though. But then again, never say never...

If he wasn't drunk, he was certainly taking enough crap...

I have to say Ozzy has a serious addictive personality, 42 different prescriptions were given to him by a Califorina doctor....sad and unnecessary. To me its amazing he can sing as well as he does cause when he's talking he sounds like Mumbles from Dick Tracy

Maybe if he hit his head hard enough he'll stop talking in tongues...

seriously, who let him get on an ATV??
not trying to be funny, but that guy has the worst co-ordination/motor skills i've ever seen.

Ozzy + 42 pills a day = dumbass
- VioletlightHeron - 12-11-2003
Ozzy+42 pills a day+a TV camera somehow equals entertainmentWish they would stop all this reality show crap and start thinking about creating real shows. :rambo:

Wow. It sure explains a lot if he was molested as a child.
