Ozzy Osbourne was obliterated on drugs after Black Sabbath in the late 1970s. In a professional and personal tailspin, he seemed destined to end up a Rock casualty.
Then, the wonderful Sharon Osbourne cleaned him up, he launched a successful solo career, and the rest is history.
Yes, Sharon literally saved his life.
No... no, wait.
Sorry, did I say Sharon?
I meant Thelma Osbourne.
Who has been completely written out of the Ozzy and Sabbath story by Sharon, who essentially re-wrote the narrative to involve her, rather than Ozzy's actual wife.
Ozzy cheated with Sharon, resulting in his divorce in 1982. By which point, Ozzy was already two albums deep into the successful solo career it's now falsely claimed she's responsible for.
Woops.
My bad.
