Kelly Osbourne Campaigns Social Distancing Through #StayHomeForOzzy
JAKARTA - Kelly Osbourne launched the new #StayHomeForOzzy campaign as a self-awareness drive for social distancing and self-isolation during the COVID-19 or corona virus pandemic.
The daughter of Ozzy Osbourne shared the hashtag on Instagram, explaining that both her parents are at high risk of contracting COVID-19, especially her father.
"If I had known three weeks ago when I released them to Panama that it would be the last time I hugged and kissed them for a while ... I would have held it a little longer," he wrote. “However, this is a sacrifice we have to make. I stayed home for my mother and father. If you don't have anyone to stay home to, I beg you to #StayHomeForOzzy. "
Kelly also asked fans to share their best impressions of Ozzy to help his father smile while he goes into quarantine.
Former Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy revealed earlier this year that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. The news follows several 'Dark Lord' health issues in recent months, which saw him postpone his tour schedule more than once.
Earlier this month, Ozzy promised to play live again as soon as he can. "My wish is to return to the stage," he said, launching NME. "I'm not ready to hang up my microphone - that's what I live for. I exercise as much as I can: I have a coach, I do pilates. But the best medicine I can get is to be in front of an audience."
He continued: “I'll be on (stage) there. I have to say this because now you're going to say, "What are you going to do if you can't do it anymore?" That's not an option. It's the only thing I've ever done in my life. It's the only thing I want to do and it's the only thing I believe in. "
In February, Ozzy released his 12th studio album, Ordinary Man. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and featured producer Andrew Watt on guitar, Duff McKagan (Guns N 'Roses) on bass, and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums. Slash and Elton John also appeared as guest musicians.
