Get ready, rock fans! Sharon Osbourne is turning up the heat in an electrifying showdown over some super-rare Black Sabbath recordingsāand it's all happening right now!
It all went down fast this weekend, months after the music world lost Ozzy Osbourne. Former band manager Jim Simpson hit us with a November 14 surprise, saying he plans to release a stash of 1969 demos called Earth: The Legendary Lost Tapes. These tracks were laid down before the legendary band took on the name Black Sabbath. š
But hold on! Sharon Osbourne isn't letting this fly without a fight. She clapped back on Instagram with some serious receipts: screenshots of emails she sent Simpson in July, laying down the law that the band wasn't cool with the release unless they give it the thumbs-up. "You know that, as a band, Black Sabbath donāt take things lying down," she said. And you can bet they're ready to rumble if necessary! š„
What's got everyone hyped? These demos feature the original bad boys of metalāOzzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Wardāwhen they were still jamming under the name Earth. For hardcore fans and collectors, these rare tracks are like gold. But Black Sabbath has always kept a tight leash on their early jams and classic releases.
The drama doesn't stop there! Sharon and her kids, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, also took to The Osbournes Podcast to throw some serious shade at Roger Waters. After the Pink Floyd legend said some unflattering things about Ozzy, Sharon fired back, calling him "one of the most twisted, sick individuals Iāve come across in years."
So, will those legendary lost tapes ever drop? That remains a mystery. With legal sparks flying and the Osbournes not backing down, everyone's on the edge of their seat waiting to see what happens next! šā”
