Jack also shared some photos with the musician, including one with a snake and one on holiday as a child.   

Ozzy has been married to Sharon since 1982, and they share three children: Kelly, Jack and Aimee, 37, who avoided much of the limelight by opting not to appear in the family’s reality series.

The singer also has three older children from his first marriage to Thelma Riley from 1971–1982, including Jessica Osbourne, 48, and Louis Osbourne, 48; He also adopted his wife’s son Elliot Kingsley, 54.

Ozzy went public this January with his Parkinson’s battle, after being diagnosed with the disease in February 2019.

Back in February, Ozzy spoke out about his health, admitting he is in ‘unbelievable pain 24/7’.

The rocker said a nasty fall last year aggravated a neck injury from his 2003 quad bike accident.

Ozzy said the crippling nerve damage is the reason why he made the decision to call off his North American leg of his No More Tours 2 tour, so he could seek further treatment in Switzerland.

However the treatment has been halted due to the coronavirus lockdown as Ozzy has been unable to travel to Europe.
