Ozzy Osbourne opens up about split with Sharon and admits drug & alchohol relapse
Ozzy Osbourne has opened up about his split from wife Sharon, confirming that the couple are not getting a divorce.
He did however confirm that he used both drugs and alcohol in the past 18 months, but is now sober.
The rock musician issues a statement via Facebook on Tuesday morning (April 16) in which he said he had been in a “very dark place” recently.
“For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs,” he wrote. “I was in a very dark place and was an asshole to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober.
“Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing. I’m just trying to be a better person. I would like to apologise to Sharon, my family, my friends and my bandmates for my insane behaviour during this period… and my fans.
“God Bless, Ozzy.”
The Black Sabbath frontman has struggled with drug and alcoholism for most of his adult life.
