"It's Parkin's II, which is a form of Parkinson's," Sharon explained.
"There's so many different type of Parkinson's," she continued.

"It's not a death sentence by any stretch of the imagination, but it does affect certain nerves in your body."
While it has been known amongst fans that Ozzy was diagnosed with Parkin symptoms in the early 2000s, the rock legend said he didn't find out about his official diagnosis until last year.
"I'm not good at secrets, I cannot walk around with it anymore," Ozzy explained.
"I feel better now of owning up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson's."

"(Last year) has been terribly challenging for us all," Ozzy admitted, recalling his "bad fall" back in February of 2019.
"I had to have surgery on my neck which screwed all my nerves in," he said. "I've got numbness down this arm from the surgery. My legs feel going cold, I don't know if that's Parkinson's or what... It's a weird feeling."

The couple then explained they will be travelling to Europe later this year to seek additional treatment for Ozzy.
