Ozzy Osbourne denies rumours of marriage split, apologizes to family for ‘insane behaviour’

LONDON – Rocker Ozzy Osbourne has denied rumours of a split from his wife Sharon and apologized to his family for returning to drink and drugs.

The former Black Sabbath singer says he was in a “dark place” but has been sober for 44 days.

In a message posted Tuesday on his Facebook page, 64-year-old Osbourne said that “for the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs.”

He said “I was in a very dark place” and apologized for his “insane behaviour.”

Osbourne added: “Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing.”

The couple and their children, Jack and Kelly, became reality TV stars a decade ago with MTV series “The Osbournes.”

Sharon Osbourne was later a judge on “America’s Got Talent.”
