‘Devastated’ Sharon Osbourne says she’s not divorcing Ozzy, despite his drinking and drugs

NEW YORK, N.Y. – Sharon Osbourne says she and husband Ozzy aren’t splitting.

Osbourne addressed recent rumours of their family problems on Tuesday’s edition of “The Talk,” the CBS chat show she co-hosts.

She told viewers she had not been aware of her husband’s year-and-a-half-long relapse into prescription drug and alcohol abuse, which he made public in an apologetic Facebook post last week.

She says she is “devastated” by their struggles, but she added that the couple has dealt with worse before.

The TV personality and music manager blinked back tears as she said, “This, too, shall pass.”

Ozzy Osbourne was a founding member of heavy-metal pioneers Black Sabbath, but he left the group in 1979. The 64-year-old has since rejoined, and the band’s new studio album is out in June.
