Former Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne has moved back to Buckinghamshire, his wife Sharon confirmed in an interview this week.
Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne's relocation from Los Angeles to the UK has long been in the works - with a tentative moving date originally scheduled for Christmas 2022.
While Ozzy's health issues, as well as ongoing renovation works at their mansion in Jordan, Buckinghamshire, put a temporary pin in the plans, Sharon, 71, confirmed last weekend that the couple had now moved back across the pond.
Sharon told the BBC Women's Hour podcast on Saturday, November 25, that "small town" living had become a more appealing alternative to the hustle and bustle of the US as she grew older, adding that she and her husband, 74, do now 'live in the (UK) countryside'.
Speaking about the couple's 120-year-old mansion in Jordans, a village in the Chalfont St Giles parish, she said: "We live in the countryside, it's not full of paps, and it's not a busy little town. We have a lot of land, so (Ozzy) will be able to walk around and pursue his hobbies that he loves doing without being bothered.

"It's home, it's always been home - I don't think I'm very American, and I just feel more at home here."
Ozzy was forced to stop touring earlier this year after undergoing extensive spinal surgery following a fall at home in 2019, which aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003.
In 2020, the former Black Sabbath member also revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and later cancelled a North American tour ahead of medical treatment.
Speaking on ITV's Good Morning Britain last week, Sharon said her husband's operations were now complete and he was "looking forward" to returning to the UK.
