Ozzy Osbourne has revealed he no longer wants to move back to the UK from America – having previously vowed to dump the US over the gun violence in the country.
The rock icon, 73, who hails from Birmingham, England, has lived in California for over 25 years and in August revealed his intentions to move back home with his wife Sharon, 70, saying: ‘I’ve had enough of killing people every day. become.’
But the Paranoid hitmaker has now stated: Consequence Magazine: ‘To be honest, if it were up to me, I would stay in America. I’m an American now… to be honest, I don’t want to go back. F*** that.

Osbourne said the decision to return home was prompted by the reaction Sharon received when she defended Piers Morgan on his comments that he did not believe Meghan Markle’s explosive racism claims in her interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Then allegations surfaced that Osbourne had made racist remarks about behind-the-scenes co-hosts of The Talk, allegations she has vehemently denied, and she was then fired from the show.
He said, ‘It broke her heart. What they did to her was wrong. It was real. I thought [her co-host] Sheryl Underwood would stand up for her.
‘She’s her friend. I didn’t know it was her who dropped the bomb. Sharon was set up and it was wrong. It was really wrong.’
Decision: But the Paranoid hitmaker suddenly reversed his decision, telling Consequence Magazine, “To be honest, if I had my way, I’d stay in America. I’m an American now… to be honest, I don’t want to go back. F*** dat’ (pictured in September)
Osbourne said the decision to return home was prompted by the reaction Sharon received when she defended Piers Morgan over his comments that he did not believe Meghan Markle’s explosive racism claims.
The comments come three months after Ozzy announced he plans to move back to the UK with wife Sharon because he “don’t want to die in crazy America.”
The singer claimed that “everything is ridiculously ridiculous” in the United States and highlighted the history of school shootings in the country.
He and his music manager wife Sharon would move into their 120-year-old Grade II listed Buckinghamshire Welders House.
He told The Observer: ‘I’m tired of people being killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It’s fucking crazy.”
Despite California’s Forest Lawn Cemetery being the favorite burial place of celebrities like Paul Walker, Brittany Murphy, and Bette Davis, Ozzy made it crystal clear that he doesn’t want to follow suit.
Doing his thing: The Black Sabbath hitmaker returned to the podium in his hometown of Birmingham earlier this month for the Commonwealth Games
Health struggles: Ozzy revealed in a new interview earlier this month that he was told he could be paralyzed for life after undergoing his first spine surgery in 2019 (pictured most recently with wife Sharon and daughter Kelly, left)
He continued: ‘I am English. I want to be back. But if I say that, if my wife said we should go and live in Timbuktu, then I’ll go. But no, it’s just time for me to come home.’
Ignoring any speculation that the move could have been aided by Ozzy’s battle with Parkinson’s disease, Sharon added, “It’s not the United States of America at all. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a very strange place to live now.’
The Black Sabbath hitmaker returned to the stage in his hometown of Birmingham earlier this month for the Commonwealth Games closing ceremony – just two months after ‘life-changing surgery’.
Ozzy revealed in an interview with The sun earlier this month, he was told he could be paralyzed for life after undergoing his first spine surgery in 2019.
The hitmaker was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and that same year suffered a horror fall that aggravated a neck injury from his 2003 quad bike accident.
Bye? Ozzy’s last tour show was in December 2018, where he performed at Ozzfest in Inglewood as part of the farewell tour, No More Tours II
The injury caused previous nerve damage from his quad bike accident 17 years ago, which broke eight ribs and a vertebra in his neck on his English estate.
He underwent spinal surgery that left him with 15 screws in his back, nerve pain in his neck, back, shoulders and arms, and the star who was afraid of getting ‘bolts in his neck’.
He told The Sun: “I’ve been told, ‘You have a good chance of being paralyzed for the rest of your life.’ “You just don’t expect the surgeon to be a terrible butcher. I was left in agony.’
Speaking of the impact his health issues had on his beloved wife Sharon, he said, “I’ve never slept so badly for so long. It breaks Sharon’s heart to see me like this, but I’ll be back on tour if it kills me.’
Ozzy’s last tour show was in December 2018, where he performed at Ozzfest in Inglewood as part of the farewell tour, No More Tours II.
Gratitude: Ozzy was released from a Los Angeles hospital in June after undergoing what Sharon called “major surgery” that “would define the rest of his life”
Further stages of the tour were canceled in 2019 and 2019 due to his health and the pandemic. The tour will resume in 2023.
This year, the rock icon has had two surgeries, the most recent taking place in June, with Ozzy saying, ‘Thank goodness I’ve found the right surgeon who knows how to deal with spinal issues.
He had to cut nerves and you have to take bloody nerve pain pills, but I’m getting better.’
Ozzy added that he is undergoing physical therapy to ensure he is back in top shape while working on his 13th studio album.
The star added that his doctor had told him he had the ‘mildest ever’ form of Parkin 2 – a form of Parkinson’s disease – and revealed that he doesn’t tremble at all.
It comes after Ozzy was released from a Los Angeles hospital in June after undergoing what Sharon called “major surgery” that “would define the rest of his life.”
