Ozzy Osborne climbed out of a wheelchair a day after undergoing grueling surgery to adjust pins inserted into his neck and spine following a near-fatal ATV crash and subsequent fall.
The Black Sabbath rocker, 73, appeared frail as he was pushed into a Los Angeles hospital parking lot Tuesday as wife Sharon, 69, looked on.
But moments later, Ozzy showed there's life in the elderly hellraiser yet as he lifted himself out of his wheelchair, and climbed into a waiting Range Rover.
A hospital worker stood close to Ozzy to offer help in case the rocker lost his balance, but ultimately did not need to step in.
He was snapped wearing his trademark black t-shirt and jeans, accessorized with a white neck brace and blue surgical mask.
Ozzy, who also suffers from Parkinson's disease, now faces a lengthy period of convalescence, a spokesman told Page Six.
