Ozzy Osbourne seen walking with a stick after Covid battle as he leaves recording studio

Black Sabbath hell raiser, Ozzy Osbourne, stepped out into the LA sunshine with a walking stick held in his hand after his recent Covid battle.

The rocker was leaving a LA recording studio with his wife Sharo n and being helped into his car on Tuesday.

But the 73-year-old musician was still dressed the part, wearing all black, with painted black pointed nails and his signature long locks.

This outing comes just weeks after Osbourne shared his health complications including Parkinson’s disease and revealed he had caught Covid for the first time.

Towards the end of last month Mrs Osbourne, 69, pulled out of her new show, The Talk, on TalkTV to return to LA to care for her husband.

In a tearful interview she said: "We’ve gone two years without him catching Covid and it’s just Ozzy’s luck it would be now."

This comes on the back of an announcement that they would be returning to the UK and are quitting Los Angeles after 20 years stateside due to rising taxes in California.

The Black Sabbath legend and his wife, are to head back to their home Welders House, in Buckinghamshire, with him having spoken about their plans recently.

The singer-songwriter explained: "We are leaving LA. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really really like staying and living there."

The Grammy Award winner further commented: "If they do the taxes better then I may come back. I do not know."

"I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders. I will still be making music and my band will come over," he added.

Ozzy has also spoken about how he is battling mental health problems as he struggled to cope with Parkinson's, the pandemic and recovery from operations.

The father-of-eight revealed that he ended up seeking therapy, with him sharing his views on such treatment.

He explained: "Over the past three years I have got a therapist. When I was a kid in England, you would not go to a therapist because they’d think you were f*****g crazy."

The singer-songwriter further commented: "It is OK. You ain't stupid for going to a f*****g therapist, but you are stupid not to go if you need them."
