When asked about how he feels after his diagnosis of Parkinson's, Ozzy Osbourne's response was positive. In the interview with the celebrity website Kerrang!, he put his views on the inevitable death and his reaction to his recent diagnosis of the illness. 

Do I ever think about when my time's gonna come? I think about it; I don't worry about it. I won't be here in another 15 years or whatever, not that much longer, but I don't dwell on it. It's gonna happen to us all.

But the metal singer also made the fact clear that he was not happy with the condition of his health. He clarified that despite his disappointment in his worsened physical condition, he does not want to cling to the fact that he is suffering from a chronic illness and just worry about it. Instead, he wants to move forward and enjoy his life to the fullest with all the time left.

Am I happy now? No. I haven't got my health. That thing knocked the shit out of me, but I'm still here. In fact, I worried about death more when I was younger than I do now. I just try to enjoy things as much as possible, even though that's so fucking hard sometimes.

The only thing that takes Ozzy Osbourne's mind to take the break from the stress of suffering from illnesses is music. His 12th studio album 'Ordinary Man' is releasing on February 21, which includes the title track made in collaboration with the music legend Elton John.
