Ozzy Osbourne may be 73, but he appears as busy as ever. He and his wife Sharon have partnered with Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment for their upcoming biopic. Ozzy, Sharon and their son Jack also star in The Travel Channel’s “The Osbourne Want to Believe,’ a show where the family investigates supernatural activity caught on camera. In 2020, numerous music luminaries joined him on his “Ordinary Man” album, and he’s currently working on the follow-up which will feature Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Tony Iommi and Zakk Wylde. It appears a move from Los Angeles to the U.K. is also in the Osbournes’ near future.
“We are leaving L.A.,” the Black Sabbath frontman said, according to Mirror. “We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really, really like staying and living there. If they do the taxes better, then I may come back. I do not know. I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders. I will still be making music and my band will come over.”
Ozzy and Sharon purchased Welders House from award-winning special effects legend, John Stears, in 1993. Sharon said she bought the home for it’s “extreme” distance from nearby houses. Talking about the couple’s upcoming biopic, Ozzy said: “From what I understand, it’s about Sharon and I and our relationship. It’s how we met, fell in love, and how we married. She’s my other half. She grew up a lot with me, and I grew up a lot with her. I hope it will be a story that everybody can relate to,” Sharon said. “You don’t have to be a fan of the music, because it’s a story about a survivor. No matter what life throws at you, you pick yourself up and you start again. It’s just an amazing story of overcoming everything that’s thrown at you in your life.” Sharon said the the film would be more based in reality than the Queen biopic, “Bohemian Rhapsody.” “We don’t want it to be squeaky, shiny clean and all of that,” she said. “We’re not making it for kids. It’s an adult movie for adults.”
