2019 has been a tough one for Ozzy Osbourne. He contracted pneumonia, had to cancel a tour with Judas Priest and fell, aggravating old injuries from an ATV accident. Sharon Osbourne has recently spoken out about the way some tabloids have handled the news, blasting them for spreading rumors and calling them “disrespectful.”
In a recent episode of the show The Talk, Mrs. Osbourne calls out certain publications who exaggerated the condition of Ozzy’s health.
And she has every reason, I mean, the National Enquirer claimed he “will be dead by Christmas” and Radar Online said he is “on a crazy train to an early death.”
“I’m actually not lost for words a lot, as you all know, but why do people just say this was true? How cold and callous are those headlines? Where’s people’s empathy?” she begins. “It’s not, by any stretch of the imagination…I’ve been open with everyone and so was Ozzy, he had a terrible, terrible bout of bad luck with his health, one thing after another. Then after his fall that he had, it’s been awful for him.”
She continues with positive comments regarding his state, “But he’s getting better, he’s recuperating. The thing is, why be so like, ‘crazy train?’ How disrespectful to anyone…I’d just like to say something, Ozzy ain’t going nowhere.”
Ozzy was in a coma for eight days in December of 2003 when he accidentally crashed an ATV while riding on the grounds of his English estate. He broke his collarbone, several ribs and a neck vertebra in the incident, of which he told sources he had very little memory.
Speaking with The Sun, Osbourne revealed that his new solo project he’s been working on is the greatest album he feels he has made.
“I’ve made a new album and it’s helped me get back on track. I was just lying in my own self-pity for months. It’s the greatest album I’ve done.”
Osbourne credited that support from Elton John, Tony Iommi, Slash and Jonathan Davis for lifting his spirits, but reveals that it was his collaboration with Post Malone that really got the ball rolling for his next album.
