Ozzy Osbourne is coming home. Recently, it was revealed tha the former Black Sabbath frontman and his wife Sharon are moving back to their Buckinghamshire residence after living in L.A. for roughly 20 years. In a new interview with The Observer, Ozzy revealed that a major reason for his departure from the States is that he's fed up with the country's rampant epidemic of gun violence and doesn't want to "die in America." 

"Everything's fucking ridiculous there," Ozzy said. "I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It's fucking crazy."

"And I don't want to die in America. I don't want to be buried in fucking [SoCal cemeteries] Forest Lawn. I'm English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we've got to go and live in Timbuktu, I'll go. … But, no, it's just time for me to come home."

Ozzys 13th' studio album, Patient Number 9, is due out September 9th and you can pick it up on vinyl from Revolver's shop
