Ozzy Osbourne secretly working on a new album - further delaying UK return
Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne is supposed to have returned to his UK home 10 months ago - but is still holding out even though Sharon wanted him back to their lavish family estate.
The decision also delayed their filming sessions for their new BBC reality show Home To Roost, which is focused on charting the famous family's immigration back to the UK.
The 74-year-old singer feels music “is a key factor” keeping his spirits high after he is “riding high” from a recent surgery a few weeks ago.
Insiders say that award winning producer Andrew Watt, who just worked on The Rolling Stones’ hit comeback album Hackney Diamonds, is overseeing their third collaboration. Last year they earned the prestigious Grammy for best rock album.

This past years has been 'horrific' for Ozzy (Getty Images for SiriusXM)A friend of Ozzy revealed: “Ozzy is raring to go with new music. He has had a horrific year trying to get back to walking properly and pain, but the desire to make an album has been driving him forward.
“He is so excited about writing and working with Andrew. They have a real chemistry which means that they can throw ideas around and come up with bangers. Ozzy is really on a high about this work. But Andrew and he work in Los Angeles, which means he is staying put for a while to get this project done.
“He will not be going back to the UK for good at this moment. Ozzy continues to tell everyone: ‘I am f***ing going to play again’. He feels that this album and his ongoing recovery work will lead him to the stage again.”

Asked if the pain had gone, Ozzy told US radio, “yes yes.”, then added: “I am doing great. I am in physical therapy, Tai chi and swimming.”
However the insider says “there is tension” between the singer and his wife Sharon over their proposed relocation to England after four decades in the USA.

“There is stress between them about this move. The desire was for filming to take place as they moved, but Oz loves it there with his friends. Both Jack and Kelly live there too, which means his grandchildren are in the US for the long term.
“Sharon has been doing the best to support him, but the show is still planned. “She wants to get on with it and get settled in the UK again. There is a stale mate at the moment.”
