Ozzy Osbourne Says He's Been Sober For 44 Days, Isn't Divorcing Wife Sharon

Despite reports that Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were living apart and no longer wearing their wedding rings, the rocker has released a statement denying that the two are headed for a divorce and explaining why there have been some problems.

Ozzy wrote on Monday night:

For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs. I was in a very dark place and was an asshole to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober.

Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing. I’m just trying to be a better person.

I would like to apologize to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band mates for my insane behavior during this period………and my fans.

God Bless,

Ozzy

Ozzy has reportedly moved in to a rented Beverly Hills mansion while Sharon was staying at the Beverly Hills hotel, and a source told The Sun, "They are living at different addresses and not spending any time together. They row a lot. They aren't acting like husband and wife."

Still, that doesn't explain daughter Kelly's tweet the other day. "Why does every family in the world have that 1 member that will never get it and is completely ignorant to life in general," she wrote.
