Heavy metal rocker Ozzy Osbourne, who fought a years-long battle against drugs and alcohol, and wife Sharon Osbourne have split up after more than 33 years of marriage, according to broadcast reports.
A variety of news outlets said the 67-year-old former Black Sabbath band member, famed for biting the head off a live bat in 1982 during an Iowa performance, has agreed to temporarily move out of the couple’s residence.
A source said the split was mutually agreed upon and did not involve Ozzy Osbourne’s long history of substance abuse.
Sharon Osbourne, 63, left her husband in 2013 after his drug and alcohol addictions spun out of control, but he got help and she took him back, media reports said.
The rocker has been sober for more than three years, according to reports.
