The news comes two days after Osbourne went public about his diagnosis with Parkinson's disease. Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne discussed the singer's health Monday on Good Morning America.

"It's PRKN 2," Sharon Osbourne said. "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, a good day, and then a really bad day."

Osbourne was diagnosed in February 2019 after undergoing surgery after a bad fall at home.

"I got numbness down this arm for the surgery, my legs keep going cold," he said. "I don't know if that's the Parkinson's or what, you know, but that's -- see, that's the problem. Because they cut nerves when they did the surgery. I'd never heard of nerve pain, and it's a weird feeling."
