Ozzy Osbourne: “I’m not a sex addict”

Ozzy Osbourne has denied that he is a sex addict.

The rebuttal follows a statement from a representative for Black Sabbath revealing last year that the vocalist was undergoing “intense therapy” for sex addiction.

The statement was released following intense media speculation over Osbourne’s 33-year marriage to Sharon, which came into the spotlight earlier in the year when the pair separated last May. However, Osbourne later claimed that their marriage was “back on track again”.

Now Osbourne claims that he is not a sex addict. Speaking to The Times, the singer said: “I’m in a fucking rock band, aren’t I? There have always been groupies.” He continued, “I just got caught, didn’t I? I don’t think I’m a fucking sex addict.

The Black Sabbath frontman got married to Sharon Osbourne in 1982 and have three children together.

Their family life later became the focus of MTV reality show The Osbournes, which aired between 2002 and 2005.
