Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon originally declared in 2022 that they planned to return to the UK after residing in the United States for more than two decades.
The couple, both in their seventies, stated that they wished to leave Los Angeles and return to their home country, but two years later they have yet to make the move.
During the most recent episode of the Osbournes Podcast, the couple provided an update on their upcoming move, with Sharon saying that her husband’s health was preventing them from creating a thorough plan.
When asked about the move, Ozzy, 75, replied, “We’re trying to get on an aircraft.” Sharon, who has been married to the heavy metal legend for almost 40 years, confessed that while that was true, Ozzy’s health concerns were also a major factor in the delay.
“It just seems that every time we’re about to depart, something occurs with Ozzy’s health,” TV personality Sharon, 71, explained. “We will get there.” She continued, “We want to go back so badly, but we’ll get there. “Will we, Ozzy?” “Yes, we will,” he replied.
Ozzy’s health problems began immediately after moving to the United States, when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2003. In January of this year, he disclosed on the podcast that he’d had “seven procedures in the preceding five years,” with his fourth spinal surgery scheduled for September 2023.
He also sees doctors for Parkinson’s disease symptoms. According to the NHS, this is a disorder in which some areas of the brain gradually deteriorate over time. Parkinson’s disease’s key symptoms include uncontrollable shaking of certain body parts, delayed movement, and stiff and inflexible muscles.
Ozzy has previously stated that his decision to depart was mostly motivated by the United States’ volatile political climate and gun violence.
“Everything’s f***ing ridiculous there,” he told The Observer in an interview in August 2022, when he first declared his plans to return to Britain. “I’m fed up with people being slaughtered every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was the mass shooting at the Vegas show. “It’s crazy.”
“I don’t want to die in America,” Ozzy explained. He said, referring to a well-known cemetery in Los Angeles: “I don’t want to be buried at f***ing Forest Lawn. I am English. I want to be back. It’s just time for me to return home.”
Sharon agreed. She stated, “America has changed dramatically. It’s not the United States of America at all. There’s nothing unified about it. “It’s an odd place to live right now.”
Ozzy was born in Marston Green, West Midlands, in December 1948, while Sharon was born in Brixton, London, in October 1952.
