Ozzy Osbourne isn’t getting a divorce — but he is trying to stay clean.
The Black Sabbath rocker took to Facebook yesterday, admitting to dealing with recent drug and alcohol problems, but rebutted reports that he and wife Sharon Osbourne are splitting up after more than 30 years of marriage.
“For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs,” he wrote.
“Just to set the record straight,” he added, “Sharon and I are not divorcing. I’m just trying to be a better person.”
