Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne could soon be a familiar sight in Buckinghamshire - as he reveals plans to relocate back to his Jordans mansion.
A string of celebs have made Bucks their home over the years - and Ozzy, 73, and wife Sharon, 69, are apparently heading back to the Grade II listed Welders House, off Welders Lane, which they have owned since 1993.
According to the Mirror, Ozzy said the pair are leaving LA, where they have been based for more than 25 years, because the taxes are too high.

He reportedly said: "We are leaving LA. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really really like staying and living there.
"If they do the taxes better then I may come back. I do not know."
The rocker is also planning to make some changes at Welders House so he can continue to make music there.
He added: "I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders. I will still be making music and my band will come over."

Welders House was built between 1898 and 1899 by Mervyn Macartney for his father-in-law Charles Thomas Ritchie, a politician who was Home Secretary in 1900 and Chancellor of Exchequer between 1902 and 1903.
It was Grade II listed in 1984 and was sold to the Osbournes in 1993 by special effects expert and two-time Academy award winner John Stears, who had lived there for most of his life.
Sharon reportedly chose Welders House because it was far away from any pubs.
