Profession
Osbourne revived her husband’s heavy metal career by founding the summer Ozzfest tour, which took place nearly every year from 1996 to 2018. In 1996, Osbourne founded Ozzfest, a summer touring music festival.
It became a regular event in rock music and celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006. By 2007, ticket prices had reached £76 and Osborne announced that tickets would be free to allow more people to attend the concerts.
Before Ozzfest was formed, Osbourne contacted Lollapalooza, another rock/pop music festival, asking Ozzy to perform at the festival that year, but was turned down and told that Ozzy was “uncool” and did too much drugs.
Given her success in managing her husband, Osbourne branched out into managing other shows by creating Sharon Osbourne Management. The new company, which had only one employee, Osborne, managed artists including Gary Moore, Motörhead, Lita Ford, The Smashing Pumpkins and Coal Chambers.
Osbourne achieved celebrity status as one of the stars of the MTV reality show “The Osbournes,” which followed her family’s daily lives and had a national audience.
In January 2003, Osbourne and her family hosted the 30th American Music Awards. The night was filled with constant “beeps” thanks to some nasty and obscene comments made by Osbourne and Ozzy.
The night was also met with controversy, with critics panning their hosting and host Patricia Heaton exiting the show in disgust. She co-hosted a Royal Variety Performance with Jonathan Ross.
Osbourne has appeared on Days of Our Lives, It’s a Boys and Girls Thing. On Friday, June 15, 2007, Osbourne guest-hosted “The Friday Night Project” with Justin Lee Collins and Alan Carr.
Osborne also appeared in an episode of the science fiction series Doctor Who on June 23, 2007. In 2016, she appeared in two PETA videos explaining why she gave up wearing fur and encouraging others to do the same.
In the famous British comedy Dead Ringers, Osbourne (played by Jane Ravens) and her husband (played by Jon Culshaw) spoofed together.
Impressionist painter Ronni Ancona spoofed her in Alistair McGowan’s Big Impression and featured her in the comedy 2DTV. On Saturday Night Live, Amy Poehler plays her on “Celebrity Jeopardy!” Skit on May 14, 2005.
Osborn had a recurring voice role as Hook’s mother in the 2012 animated TV series Jake and the Neverland Pirates.
She hosts her own talk show, “The Sharon Osbourne Show,” is a co-host of the popular daytime talk show “The Talk,” and has appeared on talent shows such as “America’s Got Talent” and “The X Factor” of judges.
