Legendary BLACK SABBATH singer Ozzy Osbourne made his latest appearance in Los Angeles on Monday going into a local art supply store, where he was accompanied by an assistant, Daily Mail reports.
Ozzy‘s wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, recently exited the CBS show “The Talk” following her emotional defense of pal Piers Morgan‘s criticism of Meghan Markle.
After completing an internal a probe into the situation, the network released a statement saying that Osbourne decided herself to depart the show.
The statement reads: “The events of the March 10 broadcast were upsetting to everyone involved, including the audience watching at home. As part of our review, we concluded that Sharon‘s behavior toward her co-hosts during the March 10 episode did not align with our values for a respectful workplace. We also did not find any evidence that CBS executives orchestrated the discussion or blindsided any of the hosts.
“At the same time, we acknowledge the Network and Studio teams, as well as the showrunners, are accountable for what happened during that broadcast as it was clear the co-hosts were not properly prepared by the staff for a complex and sensitive discussion involving race.
“During this week’s hiatus, we are coordinating workshops, listening sessions and training about equity, inclusion and cultural awareness for the hosts, producers and crew. Going forward, we are identifying plans to enhance the producing staff and producing procedures to better serve the hosts, the production and, ultimately, our viewers.”
During an interview with GQ Magazine last November, Ozzy revealed that he suffers from a respiratory disease which puts him at an increased risk of severe pneumonia and poor outcomes if he was to develop COVID-19.
“I’ve got emphysema, so if I get this virus, I’m f*cked.” Ozzy said.
“If I go out, I wear a mask, but I don’t like wearing a mask, so I don’t go out much,” he continued. “The producer on my album [Andrew Watt] got the virus. I’d phone him up every day and he said he couldn’t sleep, because as soon as he went to sleep, he’d stop breathing. He’s not the same person now… It’s like anyone who’s had a near-death experience: he’s become a bit careful with life. But my two granddaughters caught it and you wouldn’t think they had anything wrong with them. It just bounced off them.”
