"At best, I’ve got ten years left and when you’re older, time picks up speed. ...I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly," Ozzy reveals.
Osbourne noted that he is not afraid of death, but wants to avoid "a long, painful and miserable existence."
Earlier, the artist talked about how he lives with Parkinson's disease.

"You think you're lifting your legs, but your leg doesn't move. I feel like I'm walking around in lead boots," he admitted.
The singer also said that he takes antidepressants on a regular basis, which keeps his condition relatively normal.
