Months after Ozzy Osbourne revealed plans to move back to England because of the out-of-control gun violence in the United States, he’s rethinking the decision.
In an interview with Consequence of Sound, Osbourne revealed he’s no longer on board with the move, hinting that his wife Sharon might be the driving force in the decision. “I’ve been getting a bit of flak from people,” he says. “To be honest, if I had my way, I’d stay in America. I’m American now.”
Apparently, Ozzy hasn’t conveyed his change of heart to his wife, who tells the music news site she’s grown afraid of living in Los Angeles.
“When I first came here, I thought I was in heaven,” Sharon Osbourne says. “In the ’70s, if you loved music, this was the place to be. It’s not that hub anymore. It’s not exciting anymore. It hasn’t gone sideways, it’s gone down. It’s not a fun place to live. It’s dangerous here. Every big city’s got crime, but I don’t feel safe here. Neither does Ozzy.”
Still, Ozzy seems pretty adamant that his personal preference is to stay put in Los Angeles.
