Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, has confirmed the the singer has tested positive for COVID-19.
Sharon revealed the news on her new show with co-host Piers Morgan, U.K.’s ‘Talk TV’.
“Ozzy was only diagnosed… it was, like, middle of the night [U.K.] time. I spoke to him and he’s okay,” said Sharon in a video clip uploaded by TMZ. “I am very worried about Ozzy right now,” she added, fighting back tears, “We’ve gone two years without him catching COVID and it’s just Ozzy’s luck he would get it now.”
After being asked the first thing she’ll do when she flies back to Los Angeles, Sharon replied: “[I will] hold him and kiss him with about three masks on, I think. My family is my life. I can’t believe my luck that I’m missing [the] show — I’ve only been there three days. I can’t believe it. Three days and I’m missing the show, but I will be back. I know I will. It’ll take me a week to get my old man on his feet again and I will be back in a week.”
Touching on how the rest of the Osbourne clan are handling the news, Sharon said: “Unfortunately, he was diagnosed in the middle of the night [while] they’re all sleeping, so I haven’t spoken to them yet, but they’ll rally around. They’ll be with him.”
Sharon did go on to express confidence that Ozzy will recover however and she will be able to return to television. “You’re going to see me back on air in a week because I know my husband… we’re going to get him back on his feet and we’re going to get a negative test by next week,” she said.
