Sharon Osbourne, the wife and manager of expletive-spewing rocker Ozzy Osborne, has been diagnosed with what her family spokeswoman called a "treatable form of cancer."

She is scheduled to undergo surgery today at an undisclosed location.

Ozzy Osbourne and the Osbourne children — Aimee, Kelly and Jack — were with Sharon Osbourne in Los Angeles last night, spokeswoman Lisa Vega said.

"The family is together," Vega said. "They will be with her through her surgery and recovery."

Vega declined to be specific about the type of cancer, saying, "I want to protect their privacy."

The spokeswoman said Sharon Osbourne only recently learned she had cancer, but described her as being "in good spirits."

"Her doctors have given her a good prognosis," she added.

However, the first two dates of Ozzfest 2002, slated for July 6 in Bristow, Va., and July 7 in Pittsburgh, have been postponed. It was not clear last night whether Ozzfest shows on July 19 and 20 at the PNC Center in Holmdel, N.J., would be affected.

America has gotten to know the Osbourne family since it opened their Beverly Hills, Calif., home to MTV's cameras. The show "The Osbournes" made its debut in March and has drawn millions of viewers.

Just minutes after the statement about Sharon Osbourne's cancer was made known, Ozzy Osbourne fans were discussing the news in Internet chat rooms.

"My prayers are with the Osbournes," posted Hot4Ozzy.

"Wow, that's ... bad," chimed in metallicafreak.

Thank you for posting that.

Seems there are a few freepers who are equating themselves with Christ...

And yet many wonder why there is a huge number of Americans who are among the 'unchurched'.

Prayers for the Osbournes.

It's important to point out that Ted Nugent was not a saint either as a young man... somehow Ted has forgotten that too.

Would you like to repost a lucid response or just have me wonder what the heck you’re talking about ?

[rintense]

Seems are buddy Jonathan is one of what my friend calls, 'Typical Christians'- and that is not a complementary term.

I'm not sure, but you may find the Devil bears a strong resemblance to a moose.

[rintense]

Amen.

[Liberty Teeth]

Hey, do you listen to Mushroomhead or Clutch?

Well you see, I can handle you not knowing the difference between an upsidedown pentagram (which is bad) and a rightside up pentagram (which is supposed to be good), because according to Christianity all witchcraft is bad. But how in blazes could anyone that has been around the last 2 years, with constant homicide bombings in Israel, not know that a Star of David (aka the Seal of Solomon) has 6 points?!

If you really thought that I suggest you stop posting on Ozzy threads and actually go back and read your Bible and study your symbology because you are clearly without clue.

[AmericaUnited]

Ok, yes I posted too quick about the Start of David but what does that have to do with Hosier not knowing what the heck a pentagram ?

If you really thought that I suggest you stop posting on Ozzy threads and actually go back and read your Bible and study your symbology because you are clearly without clue.

If I really thought what ? Should I consider you some type of idiot also because that last statement was also obviously typed in too quickly and is an incomprehensible piece of grammer?

I feel like I'm talking with a bunch of drug retarded embeciles on this thread.

And were listening to a retarded,holier than thou hypocrite.

[ladyinred]

Oh come on guys. I don't think this kind of thing is necessary do you?
Compassion is a good thing, and everyone might do well to show it to each other.
I don't think making fun of a woman with cancer,sinner or Saint is very nice, I also don't think Christian bashing is either.
There is a lot of name calling going on here these days and a lot of Christian bashing. One would think this was a liberal forum, which is where I would expect this kind of thing..

What's up with this huh?

[Hacksaw]

This thread reminds me of the Beavis and Butthead episode where the guy comes out of the port-a-john shouting "rock and roll!" and then pukes all over himself.

[AmericaUnited]

So you admit that this band plays "bad stuff", else you would not make excuses that "these were songs done by Sabbath after Ozzy left... "

By then, Ozz was writing songs like "SUICIDE SOLUTION" and "Mr. Crowley".

I feel much better that Ozzy was singing songs about suicide being a solution and about Aleister Crowley, one of the leading Satanists of the 20th century.

You and everyone else here who defends Ozzy must be the most brain dead individuals to keep claiming Ozzy was not involved in Satanism! HE WRITES A TRIBUTE TO CROWLEY, THE LEADING SATANIST OF THE 20TH CENTURY!!! Some people are more gullible and blind beyond belief!!!

Hoosier was obviously pulling your leg. I think everybody over the age of 8 knows what a pentagram is.

If you actually though a 5 pointed star was a Star of David. It's not an imcomrehensible piece of grammar, it was just missing two commas. And the what was pretty obvious, what was the entire previous paragraph about. Before calling someone an idiot again I recommend you proof read your post. You've got a typo a misspelling and do mysterious spaces before question marks. That's just your most recent post. Prior to that you showed you can't count to 6 and misspelled imbecile. As a horid speller and typist I'm not generally one to go after these things, but I don't generally run around labeling people as intellectually challenged either (you're an exception, for rather painfully obvious reasons).

[discostu]

HA, just like all the others. Ozzy's been hauled into court numerous times over Suicide Solution, always because some people are too dumb to listen to the lyrics. Suicide Solution is about alcoholism.

Go do some research, you're in WAY over your head and embarassing yourself hideously.

[AmericaUnited]

You are obviously another assclown who has never bothered to read any of Sabbath's lyrics.

Here smart ass, more embarrassing lyrics for you to explain way... It seems you have never read any of Sabbath's or Ozzy's lyrics.

Witches gather at black masses Bodies burning in red ashes On the hill the church in ruin. Is the scene of evil doings It's a place for all bad sinners Watch them eating dead rats' inners. I guess it's the same, where ever you may go Oh lord yeah Carry banners which denounce the lord See me rotting in my grave See them anoint my head with dead rat's blood See them stick the stake through me Oh

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead Your life style to me seemed so tragic With the thrill of it all You fooled all the people with magic You waited on Satan's call

[AmericaUnited]

Listen smart ass, I've posted example after example of how the lyrics, covers, etc, are filled with Satanic themes. Are you going to reply to that or are you just interested in playing your silly little games?

[AmericaUnited]

Also found where the name comes from.

The Jews nevertheless called the incident "Black Sabbath."

The incident you referenced above has zero to do with the name of this band. Here are the lyrics to the song "Black Sabbath". As you can see, they have NOTHING to do with your incident.

What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn 'round quick and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one

Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire Satan sitting there he's smiling Watches those flames get higher and higher Oh God please help me, Oh no, oh no...

Child cries out for it's mother Mother screaming in the fire Satan points at me again Opens the door to push me in Oh no... oh God....

Is it the end my friend? Satan's coming 'round the bend People running 'cuz they're scared People better go and beware No, no, please God no...
