Ozzy Seriously Hurt in
Quad Bike Crash
OZZY Osbourne has been seriously injured in a quad bike accident in the grounds of his Buckinghamshire estate.
The 55-year-old rock star underwent emergency surgery after he broke his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck.
His injuries were not considered to be life-threatening, said his publicist Cindy Guagenti.
The operation was intended to lift the collarbone, which was believed to be resting on a major artery and interrupting blood flow to his arm. Surgeons were also trying to stem “some bleeding into his lungs”, according to the statement.
Osbourne was taking a day off from promoting the UK release of Changes, a duet with his daughter Kelly, when the accident occurred.
Guagenti’s office said no further information was immediately available. She did not disclose which hospital Osbourne was being treated at.
The Osbournes, the MTV reality show featuring the rocker, wife Sharon and their children, started production about a month ago on its third series.
It was not immediately known how the accident would affect production or how or whether it might be included in the series, an MTV spokeswoman said.
On Saturday, a story on the Los Angeles Times website reported Osbourne’s claim that he was overprescribed a variety of powerful anti-psychotic and tranquillising drugs by a Beverly Hills doctor.
Osbourne said he developed a 42-pill per day habit that accounted for his odd behaviour on the hit show, including scenes in which he was seen mumbling, falling and appearing disoriented.
Earlier this month, Osbourne told a British newspaper he was sexually molested as a child and suffered emotional effects from the abuse long into adulthood.

This is one of many stories, this is one from the BBC.
Ozzy Osbourne has cancelled his forthcoming European tour so he can get his nervous tremour - which has got worse over the past two years - treated.
Doctors have ruled out Parkinsons disease and are treating the twitches with medication. Unfortunately, one of the short-term side effects of this medication is a drying of the famous Osbourne mouth, which will affect Ozzy’s ability to “sing” for the next few weeks.
Ozzy says that the juddering has almost ’destroyed his life’
Also, Sharon herself said on one of the osbourne shows, that his tremours are due to years of drink and drugs.
