Ozzy hospitalize for ATV Accident

Ozzy Osbourne was seriously injured in an ATV accident at his estate in England yesterday. Ozzy suffered six broken ribs, a broken collarbone and a vertebra in his neck. He also underwent emergency surgery. He will be fine and his injuries weren't life-threatening.

Before his accident, Ozzy Osbourne told the Los Angeles Times he was overprescribed a host of powerful anti-psychotic and tranquilizing drugs by a Beverly Hills doctor. He claims this is why he acts the way he does with often bizarre behavior on his MTV series. The doctor, David Kipper, is being investigated for overprescribing drugs to other celebrity patients.

...not to take his injuries lightly, but if he drives a 4 wheeler like he talks, he just mumbled over!

Get well Ozzie, so we can all listen to what you don't say once again! Grin

This sounds bad for Ozzy -

Ozzy Osbourne on Ventilator After ATV Accident
Tue December 9, 2003 03:20 PM ET

By Gideon Long
LONDON (Reuters) - British rocker Ozzy Osbourne will be on a ventilator for at least one more day after fracturing eight ribs and a vertebra in a quad bike crash, doctors said on Tuesday.

"We have begun, slowly begun, the process of getting him off the ventilator," said Dick Jack, medical director of the hospital where the former Black Sabbath lead singer and reality TV star is being treated.

"Now, this can take several days so there won't be any major changes in his condition for the next 24 hours," Jack told reporters outside the hospital.

"His progress is steady. He is stable, he is comfortable and satisfactory but it's going to be slow and I don't expect any major changes, certainly for 24 hours."

Osbourne, who has mellowed from wild man of heavy rock to comical much-loved star of his reality TV series "The Osbournes," underwent emergency surgery overnight after the crash on an all-terrain bike at his English country estate.

His wife Sharon made a 5,000 mile dash across the Atlantic on Tuesday to be at his hospital bedside.

"I've not heard how he is since last night," she told reporters as she arrived at London's Heathrow airport. "I haven't managed to speak to him on the phone and I am going straight to hospital to see him."

"I heard about the accident from my husband's security guard. Apparently he was on his quad bike when he hit something and fell and the bike landed on top of him."

Osbourne's tour manager Bill Greer told reporters later that Sharon and the couple's daughter Kelly visited Ozzy but he was unable to talk to them because of his condition.

"I know they spent some time just talking with him and being by his side," Greer said.

"She really wanted me to wish thanks to everybody, all the well-wishers for all the messages, all the flowers, all the words of goodwill to Ozzy. It certainly means a lot to her and it means a lot to Ozzy as well."

Ozzy, 55, first shot to fame in the 1970s as frontman of ground-breaking band Black Sabbath.

His viciously angry lyrics, gruesome stage stunts and disturbing images of evil earned the band cult status and he gained notoriety by biting a bat's head off at a concert in the United States. Ozzy has since said he thought it was a toy.

He is in Britain to promote his latest single -- a soothing reworking of the Black Sabbath track "Changes," which he sings as a duet with Kelly.

After the accident, bookmakers William Hill slashed their odds on the song topping the charts at Christmas, saying many people would buy it out of sympathy.

Those atv's are very dangerous. Not too get off topic but in Kentucky you see kids riding them right on the road with no helmets. You see parent riding with toddlers on them. If he comes out of this ok then he's very lucky. We've had quite a few deaths at home.

That's just sick NV - no helmuts. I agree that ATV's can be dangerous but the people driving them are usually the cause of accidents.

Here in the frozen tundra...people go nuts on snowmobiles. There are paths right next to the highways specifically for their use.

Good luck Ozzie! I'm betting he wil be OK, for he is tough!

A lot of folks ride the ATV's. My son-in-law takes my 10 yr old grandson to the ranch and lets him ride there. I dont' like it, but I'm just the ole Grandmother!

Ozzy Osbourne on the Mend, Says Daughter Kelly
Thu December 11, 2003 01:23 AM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - British rocker Ozzy Osbourne is on the mend after a quad bike accident and must be feeling better because he has started moaning about the nurses, his daughter Kelly said Wednesday.

But doctors have said that Osbourne, who fractured eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck, will have to stay on a ventilator for at least the next 24 hours. "He is comfortable and stable," a hospital spokesman said.

Kelly, who had just recorded the Black Sabbath track "Changes" with her father, told reporters: "He woke up today. He couldn't talk because of the tube in his mouth but he was able to mouth words. He told us that he loved us."

The tearful Kelly did manage to laugh when she added: "He has been complaining about the nurses so we know he's all right. He gave me the 'thumbs-up' and stuck his tongue out at me." :tup:

Asked about how the accident happened, Kelly said: "He was in a field and there was grass covering a hole and the bike went in the hole and fell on top of him."

Osbourne, who has mellowed from wild man of heavy rock to comical much-loved star of his reality TV series "The Osbournes," underwent emergency surgery after the crash on an all-terrain bike at his English country estate.

Dick Jack, medical director of the hospital treating Osbourne, said: "He is not yet ready to come off the ventilator and will stay on it for another 24 hours at least."

"He has made contact with the medical and nursing staff. He is fully aware of where he is and why he's here."

His wife Sharon made a 5,000 mile dash across the Atlantic Tuesday to be at his hospital bedside.

Tour manager Bill Greer said the Osbourne family were very moved by the flood of flowers, messages and cards sent by fans.

"It really means a lot to them and touches their heart that so many people have such concern about Ozzy's condition," he said.
