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 to want to return home, Sharon insists that’s not why Ozzy will be moving home.
““I knew people would think that. It’s not. It’s just time. America has changed so drastically. It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it.”
Ozzy had a different way of explaining his thoughts about living in America.
“Everything’s f*cking ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It’s f*cking crazy,” he told The Observer.
And it’s not just the mass shootings that Ozzy wants to get away from. The lead vocalist of Black Sabbath wants to escape the glitz and glam of Hollywood.
“And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f*cking Forest Lawn.”
Many celebrities are buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.
“I’m English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we’ve got to go and live in Timbuktu, I’ll go. But, no, it’s just time for me to come home.”
Earlier this month Ozzy returned to his hometown, where he reunited with Black Sabbath and performed at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham.
Not only was it his first time back in the country in nearly a decade, but it was his first time performing in quite some time.
He was first approached six months ago, but declined the invitation. However, after he made an appearance in July at Comic Con in San Diego and “looked fine,” the crew from the Commonwealth Games contacted Ozzy’s team.
He was given six days notice, and while he initially said, “I can’t f*cking perform,” he changed his attitude and accepted the invite.
While there’s no more performances on the table for the legendary artist, a studio is being built at the Osbournes’ Buckinghamshire estate and another album with Tony Iommi is possible. But first Ozzy will release his solo album, “Patient Number 9,” on September 9.
Please share if you’re a fan of Ozzy Osbourne
Hopefully he can talk half of Silicon Valley when he leaves.
Why would I read this? Die elsewhere you a-hole
Don’t let the screen door hit you in the ass, Ozzie. We like Ozzie and Harriet better anyway.
Did he forget how to get there? It was announced a long time ago what’s taking so long
Crazy leftist nitwit can just pack on up and piyie on outta here.
That metal crap was noise; it wasn’t music in any sense of the word. Good riddance scumbag. Pls take your whole dysfunctional nest with you and don’t pollute America again.
I hear Africa has a lot of bats.
I believe this is an old story. He’s probably still here though.
Glad he can go home to die.
He had a long, and crazy run.
Thanks for the music Ozzy.
I’m devastated! But, but who is Ozzi Osbourne?
Ronnie James Dio was a better singer, a nicer man. and an American! Piss off brit.
what’s the taxman going to say???
> “I’m English. I want to be back. <
I don’t know what to make of Ozzy. He has said some rather odd and disturbing things. But I will cut him considerable slack here. I understand.
I’ve been to quite a few far-off places in my lifetime. But I’d just as soon live out the rest of my days in my hometown. So yeah, Ozzy. I understand.
Oh! I’m so crushed! Now what will I ever do? I cannot bear to breathe another breath knowing Ozzie will leave to die far far away! Oh! Such a travesty! It’s such a cruel cruel world!
Glad to see he’s carrying out his trash when he leaves.
Well... Bye.
The way the UK is playing with fire regarding Ukraine, he’s in a heck of a lot more danger in the UK than he is in the US...at least at this point.
