Sharon Osbourne on "biggest mistake" she ever made with Ozzy Osbourne

Feb 20, 2025

Washington [US], February 20 : Renowned television personality Sharon Osbourne has a regret. Recently, she shared that she didn't let Ozzy Osbourne audition for 'Pirates of the Caribbean'.
"Do you want to know the biggest mistake I ever made with Ozzy?" said Sharon during the latest episode of The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan. "He got offered to go and read for Pirates of the Caribbean, and I've never said this to anyone, and I said no," reported People.
"Now, wouldn't he have been perfect?" Sharon said, and Corgan also agreed. He would have been perfect! Maybe it's not too late, but God bless," according to the outlet.
"Because when Johnny Depp wanted Keith Richards to be a pirate, you remember?" Sharon went on to mention another rock star, Pirates of the Caribbean, who appears in Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides.
Despite not joining the Pirates film franchise, Ozzy has appeared in Austin Powers in Goldmember, Little Nicky, and an episode of Crime Scene: Investigation, among other television shows and movies, reported People.
Singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne, who rose to fame during the 1970s as the lead singer of the band Black Sabbath, is excited about his upcoming farewell concert with his bandmates, but he shared that he won't be able to walk because of his Parkinson's disease.
For the first time in 20 years, he will join the original members of Black Sabbath--Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward--for one final show, The Back to the Beginning, on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
His wife, Sharon Osbourne, shared that "he's very happy to be coming back and very emotional about this."
"Parkinson's is a progressive disease," she added. "It's not something you can stabilize. It affects different parts of the body and it's affected his legs. But his voice is as good as it's ever been."
Osbourne said earlier, "I have made it to 2025. I can't walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I'm still alive. I may be moaning that I can't walk, but I look down the road, and there are people who didn't do half as much as me and didn't make it," as per the outlet.
In the past few years, Osbourne has faced several health challenges, including a fourth spinal surgery. He also opened up about his Parkinson's disease diagnosis in 2020.
