Sharon Osbourne Detailed Biography -

Sharon Rachel Osbourne (born 9 October 1952) is an English music promoter and TV personality. She is the daughter of the infamous rock and roll entrepreneur Don Arden (né Harry Levy) and his late wife Hope; the sister of David Levy; the wife and manager of Black Sabbath vocalist Ozzy Osbourne, and the mother of Aimee, Kelly and Jack She was born Sharon Rachel Levy in London to an Ashkenazi Jewish father and an Irish Catholic mother. She met Ozzy Osbourne at age 17 while working as a receptionist for her father, who had been looking to manage Ozzy's band Black Sabbath. When Ozzy was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979, Sharon took over his management from the Arden organisation. Proving to be as hard-working and as ruthless as her father, Sharon co-ordinated the recruitment of both a technically gifted backing band The Blizzard of Oz and by utilising proven song-writers helped Ozzy kick off what became a highly successful solo career. A series of high selling albums and world tours followed through the eighties, eventually making Ozzy one of the most popular metal acts in the world. In 1996 she created the Ozzfest summer touring festival. Sharon and Ozzy were married in Maui, Hawaii on July 4, 1982. They bought out Ozzy's contract from her father in that year for GBP 1,500,000, a move that destroyed her relationship with her father for nearly 20 years. Sharon was so estranged from her parents that when her mother, Hope, died in 1998, she had not met her grandchildren, and Sharon did not attend the funeral. However, Sharon and her father were reconciled in 2001, after Sharon glimpsed him on a Los Angeles Street. Sharon has also managed Queen (very briefly), The Smashing Pumpkins and Coal Chamber. Never one to banter words, in 2000 she made news by severing her relationship with The Smashing Pumpkins and then announcing in a statement: "...I must resign due to medical reasons... Billy Corgan was making me sick!"
