Ozzy Osbourne says he has given up riding all-terrain vehicles after a crash twice caused him to stop breathing and left him in a coma for eight days, a newspaper reported Sunday.

Osbourne, 55, fractured his collarbone, eight ribs and a neck vertebra when the 600-pound vehicle he was riding flipped and landed on top of him at his estate in Buckinghamshire, southern England, on Dec. 8. He spent a week on a ventilator.

“When I woke I was so confused you could have told me I was upside down in a kilt and I’d have believed you,” the former Black Sabbath frontman was quoted as saying in an interview with The Sunday Mirror. “I could have died or been paralyzed.”

Osbourne, who posed for photographs at his estate wearing a neck brace and with his left arm in a sling, said he owed his life to bodyguard Sam Ruston, who twice gave him mouth-to-mouth to restore his breathing.

The Sunday Mirror said Osbourne spoke quietly and was stumbling when he stood.

“I’m Ozzy Osbourne, rock and roller, but I can barely set foot outside my own front door,” he said.

The tabloid said the singer checked himself out of the hospital on Christmas Eve and will remain in Britain with his wife, Sharon, until doctors say he is fit enough to fly back to his Los Angeles home.
