Sharon Osbourne did not reveal any additional information about the operation; however, the heavy metal icon, who was hurt in a quad bike crash in 2003, told Classic Rock magazine last month that he was “waiting on some more surgery on my neck.” He added that he undergoes daily physical therapy and has trouble walking, according to the magazine.
