Dressed in his trademark all-black attire, the Black Sabbath icon slowly made his way down the sidewalk before settling into an ornate throne to sign autographs for fans.

The Fashion Police alum stunned in a chic black mini dress, while Sharon dazzled in an elegant white suit. 

Jack opted for a laid-back look, pairing a dark polo with cargo slacks. 

The autograph signing follows the couple’s recent revelation on their self-titled podcast that Ozzy’s health issues have delayed their move back to England.

During a July episode of The Osbournes, co-starring their children Kelly and Jack, Sharon shared, ‘It just seems that every time we’re set to go [back to England], something happens with Ozzy’s health.’

She remained optimistic, adding, ‘We’ll get there. We wanna go back so bad, but we’ll get there. Won’t we, Ozzy?’ to which he responded, ‘Yeah.’

The couple, who first announced their plans to return to the UK in August 2022, have faced numerous setbacks. 

Ozzy has undergone seven surgeries in the past five years, including a fourth spinal surgery in September 2023, and has reportedly been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2003.

The signer, who relies on a wheelchair and crutches, has also previously struggled with drug and alcohol addiction and confessed that he had gone back to having ‘weed from time to time.’

He said on his Madhouse Chronicles podcast: ‘I am happier, but I am not completely sober. I use a bit of marijuana from time to time.’

The Prince of Darkness praised his wife for being his constant motivation to keep him from swaying back to his old habits, but cannabis, which is legal in LA, has slowly crept back into his life.

‘I am lucky my wife kicks my butt all the time and she would make life so difficult,’ he said. ‘Even with marijuana she will f***ing find it and get rid of it.’

Reflecting on his fame in the 1970s, the rock legend admitted he once believed sobriety stifled his creativity.

‘I was the king of the world, a rock star, and I had the biggest party ever. The thing is, I never thought I could do a f***ing thing of creativity (if I was sober),’ he said.

Ozzy has also shared that, after battling alcohol and drug abuse, he feels fortunate to be alive, admitting he often wonders why he survived when many of his ‘drinking buddies’ did not.

‘I should have been dead a thousand times. I’ve had my stomach pumped God knows how many times.’

Ozzy, who has sold more than 100million records throughout his illustrious career, announced earlier this year his plans to retire from touring.

Ozzy has said that his biggest struggles are due to a fall which he suffered in 2019 which caused metal rods in his back to dislodge.

The rods had been put there following a quad bike accident at his Buckinghamshire home in 2003.

He told Rolling Stone UK magazine: ‘The second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled.

‘I thought I’d be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one they put a f*ing rod in my spine.

‘They found a tumour in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too. It’s pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f*ed up.’ 

Last year Ozzy’s wife Sharon proudly accepted The Icon honour trophy for her ailing husband at the Rolling Stone UK Awards at London’s Camden Roundhouse.

Ozzy was too till to travel to the star-studded ceremony where the ‘prince of darkness’ was honoured for his 55-years in the music industry.

The rock and roll star to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath and was due to give speech at the ceremony. 

A beaming Sharon gave a rousing speech on her husband’s behalf before introducing a video message from the man himself. 

Sharon said: ‘At times I’ve just felt so helpless and so bad for Ozzy. He’s gone through all these operations and the whole thing has felt like a nightmare.

‘He hasn’t lost his sense of humour, but I look at my husband and he’s here while everyone else is out on the road. This is the longest time he hasn’t ever worked for. Being at home for so long has been so foreign to him.’
