Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne: A Return to Their Roots

They say, “home is where the heart is,” but it seems the Osbournes’ hearts have always had a GPS signal locked onto the UK. After two decades of basking in the glitter and glamour of Los Angeles, Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne are bidding adieu to the City of Angels and packing up for a return to their roots.

Oh, did you really think they planned on staying under the LA sun forever? Insiders will know that Ozzy, the prince of darkness himself, spilled the beans way back in 2022 about their keen plans to relocate back to the plush pastures of the British Isles. Surprise, surprise (not really!)

Sharon, ever the candid co-navigator, has shed light on the journey’s bumps along the way. Facing hurdles with Ozzy’s health, she quipped with her characteristic humor, “It just seems that every time we’re set to go, something happens with Ozzy’s health.” But never fear, this duo isn’t about to let a little hiccup in health stand in their way.

Not one to miss a moment of air-time, Ozzy has been generously updating fans via the Osbournes Podcast. It’s a no-filter space where he’s spoken freely of his rocky road to recovery from addiction—a road he’s treading with the avidity of a marathon runner. January saw Ozzy celebrating the disappearance of his blood clots, boldly claiming a return to health’s promised land. Cue the applause and maybe a group hug!

But that wouldn’t be Ozzy without a dash of reflection. When a fan popped the brave question, “The one thing you’ve lost, misplaced, or given up you wish you could have again,” Ozzy, always one for a spot of deep thought, replied without hesitation, “My health.” Now that’s food for thought at Ozzy’s table.

As we armchair passengers watch this storied rock-and-roll family embark on their globe-trotting journey, we send them a hearty cheer and hopes of smooth sailing—or flying, as the case may be—on their path back to British soil. With the Osbournes, after all, it’s as much about the journey as it is the destination. Here’s to new memories in the old haunts!
