After making Los Angeles his home for more than two decades, Ozzy Osbourne has decided it’s time to return to the U.K. The Osbournes’ home in California is already up for sale, and their residence in England is already being prepared for their early 2023 arrival. “It’s a very weird place to live right now,” Sharon Osbourne said of living in America. Over the past several years Ozzy, 73, has dealt with numerous health issues – Parkinson’s diagnosis, neck surgery, a fall in the bathroom, two staph infections, blood clots, and more – and while all are enough for anyone...

(CNN)Sharon Osbourne is taking some time off from her new job to help her husband through Covid-19. "The Talk UK," Osbourne's new talk show, tweeted a video on Thursday in which she tearfully shared the news that Ozzy Osbourne had tested positive. "But I spoke to him and he's okay," Osbourne said. "I am very worried about Ozzy right now." She said her rocker husband, 73, had gone two years not contracting the virus "and it's just Ozzy's luck he would get it now."

My husband Ozzy and I once met Andy Warhol. It was in New York in the Eighties, about a year before the artist died, and at the height of Ozzy's solo success. We had a call from one of Warhol's people saying Andy wanted to meet Ozzy. We were intrigued so we said: 'Let's do it.' First came dinner in a restaurant in Greenwich Village. Ozzy and I sat opposite Warhol, who was exactly like you see him in pictures, only more exaggerated - skinny face, and his collar too big for his neck, so the effect was a bit...

PALM BEACH GARDENS - For Ozzy Osbourne fans, it was a chance to get up close and personal with the legendary rocker. But one fan attending the rocker's book signing in Palm Beach Gardens tonight, instead found himself drawing the attention of Palm Beach Gardens police officers. Officers found marijuana and fireworks on the man, Gardens police spokeswoman Ellen Lovejoy said. The man was in the Barnes & Noble bookstore at Legacy Place, where Osbourne was promoting his autobiography.

At least 16 Fox TV stations refused to air the Osbourne family's "variety" special last night after seeing the promos for the program and looking at the six-minute "sizzle reel" that the network sent their way.

It is not clear what Jack is being treated for at the Las Encinas Hospital, but the 17-year-old has previously made no secret of his love of boozy nights, and has been punished by his parents Ozzy and Sharon for smoking weed.

Shortly after 'The Osbournes' began to take off, Jack suffered insomnia and depression,...

IS OZZY TO BE PITIED OR SCORNED? J. Grant Swank, Jr., POB 1984, Windham ME 04062 Pastor, New Hope Church, Windham ME Ozzy’s English boyhood was poor—father worked nights in a steel plant, mother worked days at a car plant. No money, no auto, meager food. He claims as a child he had one pair of shoes, no underpants, trousers and one jacket. At the base of his bed was a bucket for urinating in. There were no clean sheets on his bed, overcoats used as sheets when all else failed. Dad beat on Ozzy, chiefly for the boy’s attempts...

The awards show reunited singer Pat Boone with his former Beverly Hills neighbors, the Osbournes. "I think the Osbournes have said I'm the best neighbor they ever had, maybe because I'm the only one that never called the police," said Boone, a presenter. "We're friends and we get along great." Boone said he approached Ozzy Osbourne at the show and asked if they could duet on one of Osbourne's songs that Boone says is his favorite. "He and Sharon both enthusiastically said yes, so there may be an Osbourne-Boone duet in the offing, I hope," Boone said. "I can't tell...

Sunday, October 27, 2002; Page A15 A second young Jamaican immigrant, Nathaniel O. Osbourne, emerged a potentially important figure in the sniper investigation yesterday when he was arrested in Flint, Mich., as a material witness. Osbourne, 26, is listed on registration papers as a co-owner of the car allegedly used in the shootings, along with John Allen Muhammad, who has been charged in a warrant with murder. FBI officials said they know of nothing to suggest that Osbourne knowingly assisted Muhammad as a part of any conspiracy. "At this point in time we're considering him nothing more than a material...

TALLINN, Estonia (AP) - An Estonian record company has released an album of Black Sabbath songs played by a quintet specializing in music from the Middle Ages and singing in the main literary language of that era, Latin. "If you take away the massive wall of sound from many Sabbath songs, what you have is pure 14th century music," producer Mihkel Raud claimed Friday. "Really." The 12-track album — called "Sabbatum," Latin for "sabbath" — includes "Wheels of Confusion" ("Rotae Confusionis") and "War Pigs" ("Verres Militares") in slow, minimalist versions that wouldn't seem out of place at mass in the...

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ A producer has sued Ozzy Osbourne and the rock musician's wife, claiming the couple stole the idea for their hit MTV reality series ``The Osbournes'' from him. Plaintiff Gary Binkow said he met on several occasions with the couple and executives from Miramax TV between 1999 and 2000 to discuss ``a real-life docu-sitcom'' about their family, according to the lawsuit filed Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court. The court papers include what Binkow said was a copy of his original treatment of the proposed series from January 2000, registered with the Writers Guild of America, The...

This Friday for the "Family Fix" series, we take on the Osbourne family. "The Osbournes" is MTV's huge hit series. It's an odd TV hit. MTV is filled with beautiful people playing popular music, so it's puzzling that so many viewers prefer watching the unscripted and often mundane (changing the vacuum cleaner bag, taking out the garbage) life of one family. We showed videotapes of the family antics to two family therapists. Then I sat down with the family -- minus Ozzy Osbourne -- and confronted them with what the psychologists said. Their often angry reactions were interesting. No "Give...

By Thomas Hibbs . he VH-1 occasional series Behind the Music is essentially the same plotline with different characters and a varied soundtrack. We begin with the story of a struggling, makeshift band, playing obscure small-time locales. Then come the surprising breakthroughs, the record contracts, the hit songs, and the big-time concert gigs. These are the years of success and excess that inevitably generate internal bickering over money and fame, drug-induced near-death experiences, time in rehab, and the break-up of the group. Band members move on to pursue...
