Ozzy Injured in Crash
From imdb.com
Osbourne Seriously Hurt in Quad Bike Smash
Rock wildman Ozzy Osbourne has been rushed to hospital after crashing his quad bike. The former Black Sabbath frontman broke his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck in the accident, and has already undergone emergency surgery to fix his injuries - which his publicists say are not life-threatening. Paramedics were called to his English estate in Chalfont St Peter, Buckinghamshire at 2:40pm Gmt yesterday. He was treated at the scene before being whisked off to a nearby hospital in Slough. A spokesman for the reality TV star says, "Ozzy is currently undergoing emergency surgery to lift the collarbone which is believed to be resting on a major artery interrupting blood flow to his arm. Surgeons are also working to alleviate some bleeding into his lungs. These injuries are not considered to be life-threatening."

I hope it doesn't affect his speech at all.

BBC story
The star is unable to speak because he has a tube down his throat [....] News of Osbourne's accident reached the House of Commons, where the government sent a goodwill message: Health Secretary John Reid told MPs that everyone "wished him a speedy recovery" [....] Tour manager Mr Greer said Osbourne would not now complete a UK promotional tour for his Christmas single, Changes, a duet with daughter Kelly.
Ladbrokes said it had seen "a number of bets this afternoon" on Changes becoming Christmas Number One. "The single was quoted at 66/1 and not even on the main betting list this morning but after laying a number of significant wagers the odds have been slashed to 20/1 joint third favourite," a Ladbrokes spokesman said.

I hope that he pulls through and enjoys his remaining allotted time.

While I don't wish any ill will on Oz, i'd probably be more sympathetic if I didn't feel he and his brood were trying to squeeze every. single. drop. outta THEIR 15 minutes - and I say THEIR cuz Ozzy was always in the public eye. I mean, last week what was it? Ozzy was being overmedicated, Sharon cheated on him with Randy and there was one more thing but I can't think of it at the moment.
Sad, really.
And people slam Bennifer for overexposure..

It has gotten to the point where there might as well be a little section reserved in the daily newspaper for the "Osbournes update." The PR machine (aka Sharon) was probably more concerned with the wording of the press release than Ozzy's condition. I really don't put anything past her and I still believe her "cancer scare" was a hoax.
