According to The Pulse Of Radio, an excerpt from Sharon Osbourne‘s new memoir that was published by U.K. tabloid The Sun over the weekend reveals just how ugly it got between her and Ozzy earlier this year when Sharon found out that her husband of 30 years had relapsed into drug and alcohol abuse.
Sharon writes that she found out about the BLACK SABBATH singer’s drug abuse on their 30th wedding anniversary when she saw texts on Ozzy‘s phone asking people to supply him with drugs and and saying, “Don’t tell the old girl.” Sharon confronted Ozzy and he promised to go to rehab, but ended up fleeing to the U.K. instead.
Sharon retaliated by selling off all of Ozzy‘s prized cars, recalling. “There was no way I was going to risk him getting in one of them while he was drunk and hurting someone . . . Ozzy says now that it proved to be the most expensive drink he’s ever had.”
When the couple reunited in Los Angeles a few weeks later, Ozzy was so “cocky and arrogant” that Sharon says she “snapped,” demanding a divorce and asking for 100,000 British pounds — around $162,000 — a month in spousal support.
Sharon writes that when Ozzy replied, “Over my dead body,” she threw a cup of coffee at his head, adding, “Then I grabbed him and pulled at his precious hair with one hand, while trying to yank off his jewelry with the other. He went for me, trying to grab me in a headlock.”
Ozzy told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that despite critics always saying that Sharon controlled his career and life, the truth was in fact the opposite: “My wife does not get involved with telling me about working. I tried retirement, it sucked. If I don’t want to do anything, my wife can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do.”
The estranged couple met up again in May after Ozzy had finally gone to rehab and was sober for two months. Sharon writes, “It seemed like forever since I’d looked into my husband’s eyes, but now I was looking into sober eyes. The man I loved was present. I could tell he was relieved to be sitting next to me. I put my hand on his, took him in my arms and we cried.”
The couple moved back in together in June.
Sharon‘s book, called “Unbreakable”, is due out this month.

Historic Films Archive has uploaded classic footage of VAN HALEN, OZZY OSBOURNE, QUIET RIOT and JOE WALSH from the famous US Festival at Glen Helen Regional Park near Devore, San Bernardino, California from May 28th-May 30th, 1983.
This past May 29th was the 30th anniversary of the US Festival. Spearheaded by Apple Computer co-founder Steve Wozniak, the US Festival intended to be a celebration of technology and culture, with a temporary stage and open-air venue paid for by Wozniak himself just for the purposes of the festival. The event featured Heavy Metal Day on on May 29, 1983 with the following stellar line-up: MÖTLEY CRÜE, QUIET RIOT, OZZY OSBOURNE, JUDAS PRIEST, TRIUMPH, SCORPIONS and VAN HALEN.
“It was the day new wave died and rock n’ roll took over,” Mötley Crüe singer Vince Neil said regarding the overwhelming attendance on Heavy Metal Day, which set the single-day concert attendance record for the US with an estimated 375,000 people.
According to Bravewords.com, Daily Record’s Beverley Lyons reports that veteran rocker OZZY OSBOURNE has once again sparked mayhem by almost setting fire to his LA home while frying up bacon.
The BLACK SABBATH frontman, 64, was making a snack and it set off the elaborate fire alarm system at the sprawling £5million mansion he shares with his wife Sharon. And while returning X Factor judge Shaz was yesterday helping launch the 10th series of the show, her husband was cooking up a spot of trouble.
After receiving a frantic early morning phone call from Ozzy, Sharon tweeted: “I’m in London, @OfficialOzzy is in LA making a bacon sandwich last night and the fire brigade ended up at our house.”
A source said: “Ozzy has just got back from four months abroad on tour and was still a little jetlagged and disorientated. Shortly before bedtime, he went to make himself a snack. Unfortunately, when frying the bacon, he managed to set light to the pan and triggered the smoke alarm. Because the Osbournes’ alarm system is so advanced, and Ozzy has form for this kind of thing, an alert was immediately sent to the LA fire department and officers were dispatched. Ozzy was mortified when he realised the fuss he’d caused and apologised profusely to the fire crew. He has promised to be more careful in future.”
This is the second blaze drama this year involving the legendary rocker.

Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler from BLACK SABBATH, the celebrated, multi-platinum rock band that pioneered the heavy metal genre with their dark and doom-laden sounds, fused with lyrical themes of the occult, addiction, war and nuclear apocalypse, will be immortalized in an all-original, terrifying 3D maze, Black Sabbath: 13 3D at Universal Studios Hollywood’s premier Halloween Horror Nights event, beginning September 20th
The new maze, based on the darkest lyrics from Black Sabbath’s biggest hit songs and the only attraction at the horror event to incorporate 3D video, will also include scenes inspired by the legendary band’s recently released Billboard #1 album, 13. A nightmarish landscape of doom will engulf guests as they enter Black Sabbath: 13 3D and traverse through horrifying graveyards, disturbing madhouses and bone-chilling battlefields.
“We were all really excited when Universal Studios Hollywood approached us about doing a 3D ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ maze based on our music,” said Black Sabbath’s OZZY OSBOURNE. “I’ve seen the drawings of what it will look like when it’s finished and it looks amazing. I can’t wait to walk through it on opening night in September.”
Guests will come face to face with a heart-stopping Lucifer and his bride, blood-soaked dead bodies and bubbling pools of “radioactive water” while song’s inspired by ‘Luke’s Wall’, ‘Iron Man’, ‘Paranoid’, ‘War Pigs’, ‘Electric Funeral’ and – of course – ‘Black Sabbath’ violently penetrate the confines of the maze at high volume.
“Very few bands can claim to have defined a genre of music but Black Sabbaths’ remarkable influence in the evolution of heavy metal will go down in history,” said John Murdy, Creative Director for Universal Studios Hollywood. “Tony Iommi’s dark, iconic riffs, Ozzy Osbourne’s haunting vocals and Geezer Butler’s foreboding lyrics provide the perfect soundtrack for ‘Halloween Horror Nights’ and endless inspiration for our new haunted attraction Black Sabbath 13 3D.”
Halloween Horror Nights 2013 at Universal Studios Hollywood brings together the sickest minds in horror to immerse guests in the living, breathing, three-dimensional world of the most notorious and terrifying creatures and features a slate of unrivaled film production quality mazes, terror-filled Scare Zones and a fully re-imagined Terror Tram experience, uniquely themed to today’s most definitive horror properties. This year’s haunted attractions will include The Walking Dead: No Safe Haven, based on AMC’s Golden Globe-nominated, Emmy Award-winning show, and Evil Dead: Book of the Dead, inspired by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment’s chilling remake of the cult classic.
