Sharon Osbourne believes husband Ozzy has achieved more than Mick Jagger, Robert Plant and Sting because his solo career has been more succesful. Says barnies are the secret to their relationship, and making up.
OZZY Osbourne may not have the moves like Mick Jagger but he’s still a better frontman.
So says his wife and manager Sharon who believes her husband’s career has exceeded that of most rock legends, the Rolling Stones singer included.
“Mick Jagger could never make it on his own. He tried but he couldn’t do it,” said Shazza. “And he’s the greatest frontman in the world – but in The Rolling Stones, not on his own. Whether it was the music he chose or the producers, it never happened for him. Robert Plant had three or four hit records but Robert Plant never achieved what Ozzy achieved and he’s an amazing frontman, f**king amazing in his day, and they just never achieved what Ozzy did. Sting did it on his own but still not to the point that Ozzy has and for the amount of time that Ozzy’s done it. People forget Ozzy won two Grammys just two years ago. He won Best Rock Album and Best Metal Performance. He’s still relevant.”
Ozzy waves goodbye to music fans tomorrow (Saturday) at the Back To The Beginning concert which celebrates his and his band Black Sabbath’s legacy at Villa Park.
Sharon is behind the project and in awe of the star-studded line-up: “I was stunned that so many bands said yes.
“They’re doing it for all the right reasons, to say how much they love this music and how it’s influenced them and for charity. No one’s getting a penny. Guns N’ Roses can usually play for three hours and Metallica, too, but it’s impossible with all of those bands to do a full set so everybody’s doing a short one. They’re doing it because the people that started it, they’ve passed on the torch from generation to generation. It’s nearly six generations and Ozzy and I have seen most of these guys that are playing all grow up. It’s the biggest show I’ve worked on. It’s going to be a huge celebration.”
Sharon has been through thick and thin with Ozzy since they first met in 1970, but wouldn’t have it any other way.
“It works for us in every way,” she mused. “He’s stubborn and I’m pushy, so we have dreadful fights still about certain things but we move on. Ozzy asks me, ‘Are you doing this as a wife or a manager?’ and I’m always like, ‘Shut the f**k up!’ The thing we had always argued about is producers. Our biggest fights have been over producers. Who wins? It’s about even…”
