Recently, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne had been rumoured to be living separate lives with divorce on the horizon but now Ozzy has dismissed any claims of divorce.

The singer has blamed drugs for his recent behaviour and apologised to his family, friends and fans.

Ozzy made the announcement via his personal Facebook page, which read, “For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs. I was in a very dark place and was an a*****e to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober.

“Just to set the record straight, Sharon and I are not divorcing. I'm just trying to be a better person.

“I would like to apologize to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band mates for my insane behavior during this period.........and my fans.

“God Bless, Ozzy”

Previous to this, the couple had been seen without their wedding rings and had been living separately.

Sharon was said to be moving in to a new home in LA whilst Ozzy was living in a small apartment nearby.

It was later exposed that Ozzy and Sharon had been living apart so that Ozzy could focus on his tour with Black Sabbath and Sharon could prepare for the move into the LA home they had bought together.

The couple’s son, Jack Osbourne, took to Twitter to express his distaste for the rumours and how he knew them to be false.

He blamed the British press for starting the rumours and then fuelling the fire.

A spokeswoman for Sharon told the Daily Mail that the pair are living apart due to work commitments and that they are not getting a divorce.
