Marriage error admitted by Sharon Osbourne concerning spouse Ozzy Osbourne, revealing heartrending blunder.
Ozzy Osbourne's Missed Opportunity in Pirates of the Caribbean
In a poignant revelation, Sharon Osbourne, the wife and long-time manager of the legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has admitted that turning down the opportunity for Ozzy to audition for the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise was her "biggest mistake."
During an interview on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan earlier this year, Sharon opened up about her life with Ozzy. The conversation touched upon a missed opportunity that has left Sharon feeling regretful. Billy Corgan asked if she had turned down the offer for Ozzy to audition for the popular film series.
It seems that Ozzy was indeed offered a role in Pirates of the Caribbean. Sharon believes that he would have been perfect for the part, as she emphasized on the podcast. She pointed out that Johnny Depp's request for rock legend Keith Richards to join the films shows the franchise’s openness to musicians, suggesting that Ozzy would have fit well.
Sharon has been a strong guiding force in Ozzy's career since 1979, working as his manager. Her decision to prevent him from auditioning highlights the tensions between protective management and letting artists explore diverse opportunities. Her public confession is a deeply personal and unprecedented acknowledgment of a missed opportunity for Ozzy's legacy beyond music.
Ozzy's farewell concert, held at Villa Park in Birmingham, was a huge success, with over 42,000 fans attending. Fireworks lit up the sky as Ozzy bid farewell to his fans, and he was touched by the massive turnout. "I had no idea that so many people liked me," he said.
Tragically, Ozzy passed away at the age of 76. Sharon has called the decision to prevent him from auditioning for Pirates of the Caribbean a "biggest mistake," and it serves as a poignant reminder of the opportunities that were lost during their years-long relationship.
