Last month, Ozzy Osbourne worried metalheads around the world when had surgery on his neck and back. Fans were anxious when his wife Sharon Osbourne announced the surgery was, “really going to determine the rest of his life.” Fortunately, Osbourne recovered quickly and is already back in action.

Last Friday, Ozzy showed up at the San Diego Comic-Con marking his first public appearance since the surgery. The Prince of Darkness was promoting his new comic book that coincides with his upcoming album Patient Number 9, which will be released this Fall. Ozzy expressed his excitement to be amongst his fans at the event when he told Entertainment Tonight, “”I like to see people, you know. That’s been the hardest thing of the past three years, because I’ve been trying to recover from my surgery. I’m getting there. It’s a slow climb back, you know?”

While some believed Osbourne would be out of commission for a long while to recover, Ozzy once again proves he is more than human.
