Jack also shared a cheeky video in the run-up to the event in Los Angeles, as he filmed his dad training to sign autographs by using an exercise band to strengthen his muscles. “We are in full training mode,” he captioned a post earlier this month.

Ozzy has bravely spoken about his health battles over the years, after he shared his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020 in an interview with Good Morning America. He said the diagnosis was “terribly challenging”, and spoke about the complications he has suffered, including depression and mobility issues. Former judge Sharon said her husband struggled day to day, and explained: “There’s so many different types of Parkinson’s; it’s not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body. And it’s - it’s like you have a good day, and then a really bad day.”

In 2022, Ozzy underwent major spinal surgery, and less than a year later, he announced he was retiring from touring because he was no longer “physically capable” of performing on stage. “As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine. My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine,” he said in the heartbreaking statement. “However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak.”

He had further surgery on his neck in late 2023, and Sharon spoke candidly about how her husband has changed since his Parkinson’s diagnosis. “I just think of my husband, who was very energetic, loved to go out for walks, did a two-hour show on stage every night, running around like a crazy man,” she said in the documentary Paxman: Putting Up With Parkinson's in 2022. “Suddenly, your life just stops - life as you knew it.”
