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
Do you mean Ginger Baker??
> But I’m sure with his wealth he can find a nice pastoral estate with enough hired help to live his last days in the England of his mind’s eye. <
Yes, that’s it. I have perhaps 1/10,000 of the money Ozzy has. But that’s just what I’m doing. I’m using what money I’ve got to live in the town where I grew up. It’s not quite the town I remember. But it’s close enough.
I know all the side streets. And I know the best place to go for a nice lunch. If Ozzy can find that same contentment, more power to him. Yes, Ozzy has said some controversial things. But he never hurt anyone.
I wish him well.

Just wait until he finds out how the UK has changed.
Good.
Everyone who hates this country should follow suit.
I’m sick of America bashers threatening to leave when things don’t go their way, and then they stay after all.
Think I was thinking Paul Rodgers
Right, let him enjoy their socialized (free for all) medical (don’t) care service fruitions there.
The same also being shoveled here.
Can you spell denigration?
This was posted here back in August... as was the Babylon Bee’s satire-soaked version.
He’s taking longer to leave than frodo and gandolf at the end of the movie. Just go, and we will part as friends.
What the heck is an “Ozzy Osbourne”?
“It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it.”
No, it’s not united. It’s time to end the charade and go our own ways. A breakup.
That being said I met a lawyer who practices in the Arkansas delta. He’s from
England. I asked him why is he here?
He said as much as the delta has changed England has changed more. He doesn’t belong there anymore.
People who can’t get along need to separate. Ozzy is in for a shock.
(what’s taking so long)
Maybe he was on a crazy train 🚂🚃🚃🚃?
Black Sabbath - 1970 - Paris - Paranoid
Lots of great music then, but in 1970 nobody was playing music like this. And Marshall had nothing on those Laney Supergroup amps.
Haters, bow down in shame.

crazy train 🤪🤪🤪🚂🚃🚃🚃🤪🤪🤪
Wait, what? The USA is too crazy for Ozzy? LOL!!!
Wait until they find out that England isn’t what is was when they were last there either.
If was pretty sure that I was dying, I would also want to head home.
Good luck to him.
When ever I got a new Sabbath LP I’d
Buy a New Pickering cartridge and
Play it at Volume ELEVEN !.
