Olivia Munn – Breast Cancer

In 2024, Olivia Munn revealed that she was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2023. After being diagnosed, she underwent a double mastectomy within a month. Munn has had four surgeries in the past ten months. Her doctor advised her to get an MRI, then an ultrasound, and finally a biopsy, which revealed she had Luminal B cancer in both breasts, a “aggressive, fast moving cancer.” “I went from feeling completely fine one day, to waking up in a hospital bed after a 10-hour surgery the next,” she texted. “I am lucky. We caught it in enough time for me to have some options.”

Ozzy Osbourne – Dyslexia and Parkinson

Ozzy Osbourne has had more than dyslexia. After his last gig in 2018, Osbourne fell and needed surgery. He takes painkillers due to nerve damage. In early 2020, he revealed that he has a slight type of Parkinson’s disease and takes medication. Osbourne said he couldn’t keep it a secret and hopes his fans will support him. In 2022, Ozzy had extensive surgery, which was successful, although he now can’t walk much. “That surgeon told me I might be paralyzed from the neck down if I didn’t have surgery.” He added, It’s hard because I want to be out there. I want to do it. He performed f*cking surgery. Hell, you don’t know. My head, imagination, and voice are fine, but I can’t walk much,” he said. “Life has become so fucking frustrating. It is amazing how one foolish mistake can ruin your life for years. Never have I been sick for so long.”
