Ozzy Osbourne Reflects on Missing Family During
Ozzy Osbourne Reflects on Fatherhood and Redemption
Struggles with Addiction
In a resurfaced interview, Ozzy Osbourne admitted he wasn’t the father his children needed during the 1970s due to his addiction. Multiple rehab stints left him emotionally distant. His son Jack once asked, “What about a father?”—a moment Ozzy described as crushing: “I had tears in my eyes.”
Healing the Family
Over time, Ozzy found sobriety, which brought peace to his home. Sharon noted their house became “calm and pleasant” with a sober Ozzy. The bond with Jack began to mend, shifting from estrangement to respect.
A New Purpose
Now a grandfather, Ozzy draws strength from Jack’s daughters—Pearl, Andy, Minnie, and Maple. Though traditional in his views, he remains involved and loving, setting firm boundaries.
Looking Back
Jack fondly recalls their early years in the Beverly Hills mansion, a sign of how far their relationship has come from its darkest days.
