Oddball rocker-turned-TV-star Ozzy Osbourne was undergoing emergency surgery in Britain last night after suffering serious injuries in an all-terrain-vehicle crash, his rep said.
“During examination, doctors found that Ozzy had broken his collarbone, six ribs and a vertebra in his neck,” Osbourne’s publicist, Cindy Guagenti, said.
“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,” she said.
The injuries were not life-threatening.
The often outlandish 55-year-old rocker was riding his ATV at his sprawling estate in Buckinghamshire when he crashed.
The former Black Sabbath frontman and popular star of the MTV reality show “The Osbournes” had been enjoying a day off from promoting his new single, a duet with his daughter Kelly called “Changes,” when he hopped on the vehicle for a joyride.
It was unclear how the Birmingham, England, native’s accident would affect production for the third season of “The Osbournes,” which is slated to start next month.
