Fed up with the violence in America, Ozzy Osbourne has made plans to return to his homeland with his wife Sharon Osbourne, the rock icon has revealed.
“Everything is ridiculous there,” Osbourne, 73, told The Observer (according to Bloomberg). “I’m tired of people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings.
“And there was that mass shooting in Vegas during that concert… It’s fucking crazy,” he added, referring to the tragic 2017 event where a gunman killed more than 20 people during a country music festival at the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino.
“And I don’t want to die in America. I don’t want to be buried in f–king Forest Lawn,” he claimed, since Forest Lawn is a popular California cemetery where many celebrities are buried.
“I’m English. I want to be back. But when I say that, if my wife said we should go live in Timbuktu, then I’m going. But no, it’s just time for me to come home.”
Sharon added that Ozzy’s recent health issues played no part in the decision, despite fans’ assumptions.
“I knew people would think that. It’s not. It’s just time. America has changed so drastically. It’s not the United States of America at all. There’s nothing wrong with it. It’s a really weird place to live right now.”
Bloomberg reports that Ozzy and Sharon are moving into their 120-year-old property, Welders House, in Buckinghamshire.
Osbourne recently surprised British fans at the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games in England earlier this month, the performance which was his first since his “life-changing” surgery in June.
