Ozzy Osbourne suffers Parkinsons disease - Singer Ozzy Osbourne, a British rock legend, told fans about his health on Tuesday. In February last year, doctors diagnosed Parkinson's disease after undergoing neck surgery after an accident.
He and his wife Sharon Osbourne and the children Kelly and Robin told details of the fight that Ozzy Osbourne had been having with the disease for 12 months on Tuesday in Good Morning America. The singer said it was time to inform fans about the disease.
"I can't lie," Osbourne said. "I can no longer walk around the mash, I have run out of excuses."
A seventy-one-year-old singer suffered pneumonia a year ago and suffered severe neck injuries when he fell at his home in Los Angeles. He was then diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Ozzy Osbourne suffers Parkinsons disease
Singer of heavy metal band Black Sabbath already postponed the end of his tour in April. Currently being treated.
"I come from a working class environment, I can't stand the idea of disappointing people," Osbourne said. “I hate it when I can't do my job. My wife and children go to work and help me. I am sad about this because I cannot participate in the running of the family, ”he added.
According to Sharon Osbourne, her husband will soon visit an immunity specialist in Switzerland.
Ozzy Osbourne is said to be looking forward to his return to the music scene. "I need fans to live and I hope they will still be here for me," he said. Even his wife is convinced of his early return. "She'll be back soon and do what she loves," Osbourn added.
In January of this year, Osbourne's 12th album, Ordinary Man, will be released. In autumn, the first single Under the Graveyard was released, in which the rocker is interviewed from wild youth.
Nicknamed Ozzy, John Michael Osbourne was born in 1948 in Birmingham, UK. He was best known for performing with the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, from which he was expelled in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems. Subsequently, he continued on a solo career, which continues to the present day. He has five children.
Anniversary Davos addresses ecology and slower economic growth
This year's theme of the Forum is "Stakeholders in a Cohesive and Sustainable World", and ecology will be addressed more than ever before. "Ecosystem restoration is one of the priorities for the next decade," WEF founder Klaus Schwab said, launching an initiative in Davos to plant a trillion trees by the end of the decade.
The organizers then promised a number of other green measures, from the purchase of carbon credits to compensate for increased air traffic through local food menus to electric and hybrid shuttles.
Whether all this is outweighed by the number of private jets that have been sent to Davos every year at 1500 meetings is a question. This year, however, the organizers invited participants to consider more environmentally friendly modes of transport, including trains.
Giant inequality
In any case, in addition to politicians, businessmen and economists, young environmental activists, led by Swedish Greta Thunberg, who had spoken in Davos last year, were also invited.
Thunberg has already demanded in The Guardian that all participants in the Davos meeting representing governments, firms and various organizations stop fossil fuel investments and subsidies.
However, the slower growth rate of the world economy will also be addressed. This month, the World Bank lowered this year's outlook for growth of the world economy by 0.2 percent to 2.5 percent, while even weakening tensions between the US and China is not likely to significantly change the situation, said The Financial Times.
The International Monetary Fund lowered its outlook for both this year and the next year slightly, according to which the world economy is expected to grow by 3.3 percent compared to last year, while the growth rate is expected to reach 3.4 percent next year.
Inequality got out of control
Another topic of the conference is property inequality. The British NGO Oxfam has traditionally published a report on the subject before the forum, with the situation out of control. Last year, 2153 world billionaires were richer than 4.6 billion people, according to her analysis.
Trump's speech will also be closely monitored. When he last visited Davos in 2018, many free trade supporters were surprised to hear that he would always put America first.
Now a more conciliatory tone is expected - both to improve economic relations with China and to face impeachment at home.
Much attention will be paid to the US President because some leaders like German Chancellor Angela Merkel will see him for the first time since the US assassination of Iran's general Suleiman triggered the Middle East crisis.
