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.
A tempestuous rock ‘n’ roll relationship that has stood the test of time while nearly melting down on multiple occasions will be dramatized for the silver screen.
Variety is reporting that the volatile love story of rocker Ozzy Osbourne and wife Sharon will form the basis of a new biopic that’s been greenlit for Sony Pictures and Polygram Entertainment.
The project — which has yet to be titled — “will follow a biopic format” that will focus on the couple’s decades-long relationship, with Oscar-nominated “Billy Elliot” screenwriter Lee Hall onboard to write the script.
