Sharon Osbourne gets candid about her husband, Ozzy, Parkinson’s disease. She said it was heartbreaking to see him decline from an energetic frontman to being unable to perform. She recalls he spent years doing two-hour shows every night and was full of energy. Looking at him now, she can’t help but feel sad for him.

“When I look at my husband, my heart breaks for him. I’m sad for myself to see him that way, but what he goes through is worse. When I look at him, and he doesn’t know I’m looking at him, I’m like crying,” Osbourne told E Online.

“It’s not a death sentence… It’s a mild form of Parkinson’s at the moment. I’m not shaking,” Ozzy said, according to People. “The doctor told me that I probably walk by ten people a day who have got it and don’t even know they’ve got it. You don’t get a pimple on your forehead, you just start walking a bit funny, I suppose.”
