Sharon Osbourne has given viewers an update on Ozzy Osbourne’s health amid ongoing issues, during an interview with Piers Morgan on his new TalkTV show Uncensored.
The 73-year-old rocker has suffered a string of health issues in recent years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003.
The Black Sabbath legend recently said he was left with debilitating mobility issues by back and neck surgery, after previously being left reeling from a life-threatening staph infection in his thumb.
Piers asked Sharon in the TalkTV studio: “How is Ozzy? My great man. He’s just one of my favourite people in the world. Been through the health wars a bit. How’s he doing?”
Sharon replied: “He’s doing okay. He is. He sends you his love. He’s got one more operation left to do and then he’s dying to come back home.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Sharon said that she, her family and even her dogs received death threats in the wake of her decision to defend Piers Morgan’s comments over Meghan Markle.
The 69-year-old TV personality was part of a heated on-air debate about race which resulted in her suspension and subsequent dismissal from US show The Talk.
Sharon had served as a panellist on the CBS show, but said she was blacklisted in the United States after defending Piers.
Sharon, 69, claimed she was subjected to death threats in the wake of her suspension.
Recalling her dismissal from CBS, she told Piers: “I never thought in my wildest dreams that my career after fifty years would have ended that way.
“I must have cried for three months. Never stopped crying.”
She continued: “Some of the comments that were coming through on my social media were so horrific about cutting my throat, my husband's, even the dog's.
“They wanted to kill my dogs. Then they started on Ozzy and I thought, this is just insanity.”
This comes after Piers Morgan celebrated a triumphant ratings victory during the second instalment of his Uncensored show on Tuesday evening.
The former Good Morning Britain host said he was “making TV history” with his TalkTV show, after it was revealed that the show’s opening night pulled in more viewers than the BBC, Sky and GB News' ratings combined.
In an opening monologue, Piers said: “Last night's show made TV history. Today I have been showered with equal dollops of praise and criticism.
“I promised to annoy all the right people and we are off to a flying start.”
