Ozzy Osbourne wants to renew vows with wife Sharon after life-changing surgery

Ozzy Osbourne is promising to bounce back from life-changing surgery by renewing his wedding vows with wife Sharon, again.

The Black Sabbath legend, 73, was unable to walk or stand for long ­periods and had a neck and back ­operation on Monday.

Sharon, 69, flew back to Los Angeles to support the rocker.

But despite his health concerns and mobility issues, friends say he wants to make a big effort to exchange vows again and they may go to Maui to celebrate 40 years of marriage.

The Hawaiian island is where they first exchanged their vows in July 1982.

Ozzy had pushed back the surgery over Covid and his wife’s departure to London for work.

A friend of the couple said: “Ozzy may have been waiting on getting his neck and back sorted after extended leg pain, which has left him unable to walk for long periods.

“But while that has been his hope, he always wants to treat Sharon to something special for their 40th.

“They renewed their vows in Vegas, but he hoped to fly them to Maui for a break to recall their big day.

“He hopes that his recovery will be short and nerve damage will be removed so that he can treat his wife.

“Ozzy may have gone through the mill in recent years, but his spirit and desire to show Sharon how much their love burns bright remains.”

“This is the one that I will remember.

“Sharon and I have been through so much, and this honestly feels like a new beginning.”

They briefly split after 33 years of marriage when reports surfaced the Prince of Darkness had an affair with his hairstylist in 2016.

Ozzy, whose album sales with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist are more than 100 million, said: “I made a huge mistake.

“Without Sharon, I am nothing. I love her. I can honestly say that I have never loved anybody other than my wife.”
