Ozzy Osbourne once described it as the calmest moment of his life. In 1989, the legendary Black Sabbath frontman attempted to kill his wife, Sharon Osbourne, in a terrifying incident fuelled by addiction. In the A&E documentary Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, the rock icon recalls the harrowing night with disturbing serenity: 'Everything was just peaceful.'
Sharon remembered things quite differently. She said she had just put their three children — Kelly, Jack and Aimee — to bed and was in her room when Ozzy, heavily intoxicated, walked in. 'He turned to me and said, "We've come to a decision that you've got to die," and then he lunged at me,' Sharon said. She pressed a panic button as he strangled her, triggering a swift police response.
