Ozzy Osbourne passed away last Tuesday (22) at the age of 76. However, he nearly lost his life in 2003 after being involved in a serious quad accident.
The near-fatal accident took place on December 8 of that year, while the Black Sabbath frontman was riding a quad on his property in Jordans, Buckinghamshire, England.
He was 55 years old at the time and, after years of substance abuse, he was trying to stay sober, so the possibility of him being under the influence of alcohol or drugs when the accident occurred was ruled out.
The musician lost control and crashed. As a result, he suffered fractures in eight ribs, one vertebra, and his left collarbone, according to Rolling Stone. The impact was so severe that Ozzy was in a coma for eight days.
“The doctors tell me every day that it could have been much worse. I could have been dead,” he said at the time. After the trauma, Ozzy promised, “I will never go near those damn quads again.”
