Ozzy Osbourne has returned home to recover from serious health issues that resulted in him being transferred to intensive care.

Ozzy had been battling complications following a bout of flu and later developed bronchitis which forced him to be rushed to the hospital’s special unit.

Now though, despite not being able to breath on his own during points of his hospitalisation, the Prince Of Darkness has been released from hospital and returned home to recover.

Yesterday, his wife Sharon Osbourne said Ozzy was “out of ICU” and “breathing on his own.” While speaking on her show Talk Talk, she added: “He’s doing good, he really is. And I just want to say a huge thank you to everybody that has reached out with good wishes. He’s overcome by the response that he’s had and it just makes him, it’s kind of bittersweet because he’s so overwhelmed with it but he’s sad, too.”

Furthermore, Ozzy has released a statement urging his fans to keep hold of the tickets they purchased for his previously cancelled tour. It is believed that he will reschedule the tour dates for the fall. With March being outlined as a potential return date, Ozzy will have an extensive schedule which will see him play the UK, North America, Australia, New Zealand and Japan in the next six months.
