We can always rely on Sharon Osbourne to "Cut The Crap!" This former X Factor judge is returning to the UK with her husband Ozzy Osbourne after nearly two decades of living in Los Angeles, California. The couple is heading back to their Buckinghamshire digs this Christmas after extensive renovations.
The move is a much needed one as Ozzy, former star of the metal band Black Sabbath, has had a series of setbacks in recent years, including a serious fall, multiple surgeries for a back injury, fears he’d been left paralyzed and his Parkinson’s diagnosis. Sharon has been the pillar of strength by his side throughout and, for her, returning to the UK means she can take up other work commitments such as hosting TalkTV series The Talk and now her new stage show "Sharon Osbourne Cut The Crap!", which opens at London’s Fortune Theatre in January.
When Metro caught up with Sharon, the straight-talking family matriarch, she revealed why they were returning to England. She shared, “I want to go back to where I came from. It’s very strange here [in the US] right now. It’s like a tinderbox. We’re living in crazy times and it’s just horrendous what’s going on worldwide. I just feel safer back in England. I’m hoping I can live a more peaceful life and have more privacy here.”
When asked about her new stage show, Sharon says that it is about her life, and the title “Cut The Crap” is reflective of how she has learned to be direct and to not tolerate nonsense. She shared, “Time is so precious. It’s the one thing you cannot buy. Over the years I’ve tried to control myself when I’m around people that bullsh*t. But as you get older you just lose that...Now I don’t give a f**k [and say] “Just shut up!” [Show]business is the worst for bullsh*t. People say one thing to your face and another after you walk out the door. This industry is very tough. You have to survive though.”
Sharon also discussed her difficult relationship with her late father, music manager Don Arden. She shared, “It was a very weird relationship. I loved my father. He taught me a lot, he gave me a great childhood. But yes, he used to wrap my hair around his hand and yank my head. And then when you work for your father and he asks you to do things which are basically illegal and very risky, how do you forgive him? But I did because it’s so bad to carry that around with you. So I was there for my dad when he was older and he needed me.”
Finally, Sharon opened up about her struggle with weight and how she has lost more than is good for her. She said, “I’ve always had a terrible weight problem since I was a little girl. I can remember going to school on the Underground and on certain platforms there used to be huge weighing machines. I used to put pennies in all the time to check my weight. So it was never because someone told me to lose weight or look a certain way. It came from within. It came from me as a child.”
Sharon Osbourne is a true inspiration as she has faced many hardships over the years but is still standing strong and ready to Cut The Crap! Catch her live and uncensored on stage at The Fortune Theatre in London Jan 21 and The Alexandra in Birmingham on Jan 24.
