Ozzy Osbourne’s former wife, Sharon, was born in London, United Kingdom, on October 9, 1952. Sharon’s dad was a music manager, and she was the eldest daughter whose world was shaped by music and varied ambitions. Sharon’s father had named her as ‘Al Capone of Pop’, and Ozzy got the chance to handle artists such as Black Sabbath, Little Richard, as well as Queen. In her childhood, she spent most of her time being immersed in music. Ozzy and Sharon did stick together, but they had a lot of highs and lows in their life during their marriage. However, they kept fighting for their relationship.
Ozzy was first married to Thelma Riley back in 1971 to 1982, and then adopted her son, Elliot, and then they were blessed with Jessica and Louis. Ozzy and Sharon met when she was 18, and it was in 1982 that they got married and were blessed with Aimee, Kelly and Jack. Here, Ozzy, on one side, is all set to retire as a heavy metal artist by giving his final concert at Birmingham. He will give an adieu to his pioneering metal band, Black Sabbath. Here’s everything to know about Sharon, who has been Ozzy’s manager and was earlier a receptionist.
Sharon first worked as a receptionist before becoming Ozzy Osbourne’s manager
Sharon’s childhood was filled with violence, poverty, and she grew up with a Jewish Russian dad and an Irish mom. During her teenage years, according to a report by American Songwriter.com, Sharon began working as a receptionist and later transitioned into movie promotions. However, it was in the 1970s when her career and life fully changed when Sharon came and managed Ozzy Osbourne. This was because he got ousted from his band, Black Sabbath, on the grounds of substance abuse. Sharon had helped Ozzy through the entire process of recovery and also revived his music career, and then Ozzy gave hits such as the Crazy Train. Due to the success, Ozzy and Sharon’s relationship saw a huge change both on the personal as well as professional front.
