Full article:

Ozzy Osbourne : They put him in a cot, a sort of crib thing, a giant crib. They strapped him ... like a boxer, fucking bandages on his hands, with a glucose drip going into his arm. He was stoned out of his head. You know, the most amazing thing he said to me ... I told my father one day, 'I take drugs'. I said to him, 'Before you go, will you take drugs?' He says, "I promise you, I'll take drugs.' He was on morphine. Totally out of his mind on morphine, because the pain must have been horrendous.
