JAKARTA - In the fourth episode of the revived "The Osbournes" podcast, Ozzy Osbourne revealed that he would try tai chi as a way to improve his health.

The legendary vocalist Black Sabbath suffered from Parkinson's disease and previously fell badly and a metal rod in his spine was removed after a bicycle accident 10 years ago.

"It's good for balance. It's a new adventure," said Prince Of Darkness, about his decision to try out tai chi.

Ozzy is now 74 years old and has struggled with his mobility after falling in 2019 which exacerbates a decade of spinal cord injury and diagnosis of Parkinson's disease three years ago.

"I want to come back. All options are open to me now," he continued.

Tai chi is a centuries-old Chinese martial art that is often described as "meditation in motion".

Low impact slow motion exercises include a series of movements named according to animal movements or martial arts movements.

This art usually combines slow movements with breathing patterns and mental focus and relaxation. Movements can be done while walking, standing, or sitting.

Last July, Ozzy canceled her appearance at the upcoming Power Trip festival due to health problems.

Ozzy's health problems, including contracting COVID-19 a year and a half ago, forced her to cancel some of the previously announced tours.

Although the health problem forced him to cancel most of his live performances, the musician said he would return if his condition improved.

Last April, Ozzy was photographed walking without her clothes on in Los Angeles. According to Page Six, she looked unbalanced while walking with her caregiver, who picked up flowers during a day walk around the neighborhood and extended it so the rocker could breathe it.

The previously announced European tour of Osbourne with guests Judas Priest, which was originally scheduled for 2019 and then rescheduled three times, was officially canceled in early February.
