Hey, music lovers! 📢 We've got some wild news straight out of the rock 'n' roll archives! Sharon Osbourne, the fierce and fabulous matriarch of all things Ozzy, is unleashing her spicy disapproval over some super-vintage Black Sabbath demos from way back in 1969, recorded under the name Earth. Can you say drama? 🎸🔥
This all kicked off when Jim Simpson, the band’s very first manager, planned to drop these rare tracks from Ozzy and the crew this summer. But you might have to hold your horses because Sharon is NOT having it! She's hit up social media to signal that the tapes, dubbed The Legendary Lost 1969 Tapes, are tied up in major legal knots.
On The Osbournes podcast, Sharon went full-on savage, questioning Simpson’s motives and throwing some serious shade. Simpson didn’t just sit back; he fired back with a big ol’ statement too! 🎤💥
The online beef spilled over to the weekend, with Sharon doubling down and sharing emails where she clearly told Simpson to think twice before hitting the 'release' button. She was all, “The band hasn’t even heard those tapes, Jim!” and warned of possible actions they'd take if things went ahead against their wishes.
Sharon’s not thrilled about these tunes potentially being distributed under Big Bear Records and Trapeze Music either. She's like, “Not on our watch!” 🚫✋
As the battle heats up, it looks like The Legendary Lost 1969 Tapes might be stuck in limbo. Online sellers are pushing back the release dates like crazy, some even eyeing December 2025 to February 2026. 😱 Stay tuned for more updates as this mega music saga unfolds!
