SHARON OSBOURNE - "In L.A. My Husband Can’t Go For A Walk Without Paparazzi Taking Pictures And People Saying ‘Poor Frail OZZY, He’s Got Three Months To Live’"
November 22, 2023, a year ago
In a new interview with Metro UK, Sharon Osbourne discusses returning to the UK with husband Ozzy Osbourne after nearly two decades of living primarily in Los Angeles with their children Aimee, Jack, Kelly and now their brood of grandchildren.
However, home is where the heart is and Sharon, 71, and Ozzy, 74, are packing up their sun-kissed mansion to move back to their Buckinghamshire digs this Christmas after extensive renovations.
It’ll mean that Ozzy, former star of the metal band Black Sabbath, can be close to friends and family as he focuses on his health after several years of setbacks, which have included a serious fall, multiple surgeries for a back injury, fears he’d been left paralyzed and his Parkinson’s diagnosis.
Asked why she's returning to England, Sharon reveals: "I want to go back to where I came from. It’s very strange here [in the US] right now. It’s like a tinderbox. We’re living in crazy times and it’s just horrendous what’s going on worldwide. I just feel safer back in England. I’m hoping I can live a more peaceful life and have more privacy here."
"In LA my husband can’t go for a walk without paparazzi taking pictures and people saying ‘Poor frail Ozzy, he’s got three months to live’, or rubbish like that. Today he’s gone to the doctors and he is always followed by the same photographers. And it’s like ‘Come on! How many pictures do you need of him with a walking stick?’"
