Black Sabbath frontman and general global superstar, Ozzy Osbourne has been diagnosed with Parkin Syndrome, a hereditary condition that affects the nervous system.

It was widely assumed that the prince of darkness' famous tremors were the result of his drug fuelled past life, but it now appears that the condition is a medical one.

A quote from Ozzy said: "I'd always assumed it was the booze and stuff. Now I've found it all stems from the family. It's called Parkin but it's not Parkinson's. Anything to do with the central nervous system has the word Parkin in it. A doctor in Los Angeles tried to tell me I had multiple sclerosis. And I believed him until I had a second opinion. When I told my sisters she said, 'Not you as well? Mum had that and Auntie Elsie and your grandma.' I'm like, 'Thanks for fucking telling me'. Me walking around thinking I've got some drug paralysis."

Parkin syndrome:

The only surprising thing about this story is that it wasn't diagnosed sooner.

lol @ 'Thanks for fucking telling me'

No kiddin' .

People used to give Dudley Moore a really hard time, even his best friends, because they assumed he was always drunk. But he had progressive supranuclear palsy. A really sucky way to die.

those are awesome photos

A sad life. From what I understand, he came to totally regret his career in comedy and wished he had concentrated on his piano playing. Apparently, he had real talent.

So, sexually, Ozzy will be nothing more than a vibrator to Sharon.

If that is San Francisco, than I understand. Downtown Boston has to be the worst though.

At least she still has her poodles.

This news makes me sad.
I love Ozzy.
