Ozzy Osbourne left paralyzed after sun bed incident

Ozzy Osbourne burnt himself so badly on a sun bed he couldn’t walk for months. The rocker fell asleep while using the artificial tanning machine and severely damaged his skin leaving him barely able to move.

“I once went to a tanning salon, turned the machine straight up to 10 and passed out on the bed,” he said.

“I woke up a few hours later looking like I’d been hit by an atomic bomb! I was furious with myself for months because I could hardly walk — never mind smile, bend over or do anything that involved creasing even the tiniest part of my skin. I might as well have paid someone to throw me in a bath of acid.”

The 61-year-old singer — who is married to TV star Sharon Osbourne — believes no one should succumb to the lure of tanning booths and should instead just be happy to be pale.

“It ages you by decades, too. A few doses of the hard stuff and you’ll end up with a face like an antique football,” he said.

“I recommend avoiding anything with UV rays and settling for the pale and interesting look.”
