Sharon Osbourne: Can I trust Ozzy?

Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon doesn’t know if she’ll ever trust him again after their recent split.

The Black Sabbath frontman is alleged to have had an affair with a hairstylist, leading to Sharon’s departure from their marital home in May.

But she remains hopeful that Ozzy can resolve his problems, and they’re attending individual and couples’ therapy to that end.

Sharon tells the Sun: “Can I ever trust him again? I don’t know. I’m now questioning every statement, every move. The lies and intrigue still hurt.

“I don’t want to hurt him – I admire and respect him. And that’s what I expect back: respect. I didn’t get that. It’s very hurtful when you don’t get that respect and consideration from your partner.”

She hasn’t reached a decision on whether to commence divorce proceedings, although she continues to manage Ozzy’s career.

She says he’s taken up meditation and that she’s “seen a great improvement in him” since he did.

Sharon adds: “Ideally I’d love for my husband to deal with his issues, be honest and open, to come back to us with honesty and respect for the family.”

Black Sabbath’s farewell tour ends in the UK in February. Ozzy and son Jack launch a TV series on world history later this month.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
