Let's be honest.....Sharon Saved His Life
Without Sharon Osbourne, there's a very real chance Ozzy wouldn't have survived the 1980s.
She became his manager after he was fired from Black Sabbath and transformed his solo career into a global empire.
The two married in 1982. Their relationship was often chaotic, messy (Ozzy's sex addiction admission) , funny, heartbreaking, and incredibly resilient.
They fought.
They laughed.
They nearly lost each other multiple times. Yet somehow, they always found their way back. Behind the madness was one of rock's most enduring love stories.
Becoming America's Favorite Dysfunctional Family
In 2002, MTV launched The Osbournes. Nobody expected much.
Instead, it became one of the biggest television sensations of the decade. Viewers discovered Ozzy wasn't some terrifying Prince of Darkness.
He was a confused dad trying to find the TV remote. He wandered around the house muttering to himself. Argued with the dogs.
Couldn't work the electronics. And somehow became one of television's funniest personalities without trying.
Sharon, Kelly, Jack, and Ozzy turned reality TV into must-watch entertainment years before social media existed. You can watch seasons from the beginning on Paramount+ .
