The Osbourne family has been well known in Hollywood since their hit reality TV show, showing the merry misadventures of their daily lives. However, in recent years they have become less public about their lives.
Recently they have toned their Hollywood personas down and taken on quieter roles, like TV talk show hosts or musicians. The family has also welcomed new members in the last few months amid Ozzy being unwell.

In February this year, Ozzy announced that he was canceling his tour because he was physically incapable of completing all of the performances that he had set out for himself. The Black Sabbath band member said it was an incredibly difficult decision to make.
His health conditions came as a result of an accident he had four years ago, which caused permanent and primarily irreparable damage to his spine. He has had many treatments in the last four years but admits his body remains weak. He lamented:
"Never would I have imagined that my touring days would have ended this way."

This weekend, Sharon shared an update on her husband, saying he was doing much better, and even shared some news about where Ozzy was planning on performing next. Yet fans were not pleased.
