    Ozzy Osbourne seriously injured in accident

    From Matt Carey
    CNN

    LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) --Ozzy Osbourne was seriously injured Monday in an accident while riding an all-terrain vehicle on the grounds of his British estate, according to Cindy Guagenti, a publicist for the heavy metal legend.

    Guagenti said Osbourne underwent emergency surgery after breaking his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck.

    She said the operation was necessary to "lift the collarbone, which is believed to be resting on a major artery interrupting blood flow to his arm."

    Guagenti also said doctors were attempting to stop "some bleeding into his lungs," but she said the injuries were not considered life-threatening.

    The accident took place on the 55-year-old rocker's Buckinghamshire property while he was taking a day off from promoting a new single he recorded with his daughter, Kelly.

    Osbourne and his family star in a taped Christmas special airing on MTV Thursday.

    The third season of their reality TV series "The Osbournes" debuts on the network in January.

    In an article in Sunday's Los Angeles Times, the former lead singer of Black Sabbath said his unusual behavior on "The Osbournes" was the result of a 42-pill-a-day regimen prescribed by his Beverly Hills doctor, which included anti-psychotic drugs and tranquilizers.

    Osbourne said he has since fired his physician.

    An attorney for the doctor told the Times the allegations were false.

    Osbourne's publicist said pills had nothing to do with his accident Monday.

    Osbourne made headlines in his native Britain last month when he told a newspaper he had been sexually molested as a child and suffered emotional consequences for many years afterward.

    I thought the same thing when I read of his age.No wonder with all those pills and a rock-n-roll life would age anyone.(look at the rolling stones..eeeep!)

    As a teen,I was a big black Sabbath and Ozzy fan.Hope he comes out of it,ok.
