The early years of the relationship will be the subject of the new film, which will deviate from the "sex and drugs" pattern established by other works.
In an interview with Variety magazine, Sharon Osbourne , wife and longtime manager of the Prince of Darkness, mentioned some projects she has been considering. One is a book about infidelity and its effects on individuals. The other is a film about the early years of her romantic relationship with Ozzy Osbourne .
“It will begin on the day we met. The focus will be on how our lives were totally different, but at the same time, very similar,” Sharon states. “I was raised by a powerful, successful father who taught Black Sabbath / Small Faces Electric Light Orchestra manager Don Arden – and Ozzy was raised in extreme poverty, abused, in a way.”
Those looking to see Ozzy's well-known scandals won't find them here. "The film will definitely bring a few tears," Sharon continues, "It's not going to be about sex and drugs. Ozzy is much more than that, and I would hate to be a cliché."
Earlier in February of this year, Ozzy announced that he would be embarking on a farewell world tour, No More Tours 2 , a play on the frontman's first farewell tour in 1992. The North American leg includes two festivals and will take place from the end of August to the middle of October.
Sharon previously expressed a wish for her husband to retire when he turns 70. She made this statement in 2016, and the Prince of Darkness will turn 70 this December. "I don't want Ozzy singing 'Crazy Train' at 75. I think it's better to stop before reaching that age and being at the top," she explained.
