John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
Ozzy Osbourne defended his wife, Sharon, following her departure from "The Talk" over accusations of racism. Sharon, 68, left the daytime talk show after 11 years only a few weeks after a heated exchange with her co-host Sheryl Underwood, in which she expressed support for Piers Morgan, who left his own position at "Good Morning Britain" after he made controversial comments about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry following their sit-down interview with Oprah Winfrey.
The 72-year-old rocker spoke out about the situation on the May 17 episode of his SiriusXM show "Ozzy Speaks." He explained that he would be open to calling out his wife if he believed she were actually guilty of any racism, but stood firm that she is the most "un-racist" person.
