Ozzy Osbourne is worried he’ll die without the COVID-19 vaccine.

The 72-year-old rocker has not yet had his vaccination against coronavirus, but has insisted he’ll definitely be taking up the offer when the time comes, because he’s worried he won’t survive if he contracts the virus and hasn’t been vaccinated.
Speaking on SiriusXM, he said: “I want to get the shot. I look at it like this - if I don’t get the shot and I get the virus, there’s a good chance I ain’t going to be here.”
Ozzy has battled numerous health conditions over the past few years including a fall, neck surgery, an infection in his hand, hospitalisation for the flu, and was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
And the Black Sabbath musician almost had a brush with COVID-19 after his wife, Sharon Osbourne, tested positive in December, but she was thankfully able to quarantine herself away from him and didn’t pass on the virus.
She tweeted at the time: “I wanted to share I’ve tested positive for Covid 19. After a brief hospitalization, I’m now recuperating at a location away from Ozzy (who has tested negative) while The Talk is on scheduled hiatus. Everyone please stay safe and healthy. (sic)"
Meanwhile, Ozzy previously said he believes his ailments over recent years may have been caused by a haunted doll named Robert.
In an episode of 'The Osbournes Want to Believe’ - which sees his son, Jack Osbourne, try to convince his parents about the existence of ghosts - Ozzy was confronted by the doll.
Introducing the doll, Jack, 35, said: “Here’s Robert!”
To which Ozzy threw the figure to the ground and said: “Not him again!”
He later added: "It’s bad luck! I keep telling you. You keep thinking it’s f****** not, but just look at what I’m saying. Just look at what has gone on with me. You think it’s a joke.
“Look, look at me. It ain’t bad luck? No, you shouldn’t have f***** around with him."
