Sharon Osbourne isn’t staying quiet after Ozzy’s death, calling out former Black Sabbath manager Jim Simpson for allegedly planning to release the band’s early “Earth” demos without the family’s approval.
On The Osbournes Podcast, Sharon, Jack, and Kelly Osbourne revealed that Simpson is trying to profit from unreleased recordings by claiming he owns them because he once paid a £500 studio bill back in the day.
Sharon says Simpson waited decades for the copyrights to expire, then made a deal with a small record label to distribute the tapes. The Osbourne family has spent 18 months threatening legal action to stop the release.
Despite the chaos, Sharon thanked fans for their love and tributes, making one thing clear, anyone trying to cash in on Ozzy’s legacy will be handled. PER LOUDWIRE
