Sharon Osbourne took hold of the mic in the latest episode of her family\u2019s podcast The Osbournes, as she bashed Coachella for losing its roots and shared some keen insights on the future of Ozzfest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
The 71-year-old and her husband Ozzy Osbourne co-founded the music festival in 1996 with the lineup focusing on hard rock and metal music, making it a rare find and quick favorite for fans.<\/p>\n
The last standalone Ozzfest took place in 2018 with Body Count, Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie headlining but after Ozzy was forced to cancel all of his shows last year due to his declining health his wife seems keen to restart the festival.<\/p>\n
On the podcast, Sharon and her son Jack got into a heated conversation about Coachella as the former The Talk star slammed: \u201cIt\u2019s not about the music, it\u2019s a lifestyle festival now.\u201d<\/p>\n
Easing the familial tension, Ozzy chimed in and asked if the family would be keen to put on another Ozzfest and Sharon eagerly responded \u201cYeah! Sure, of course!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s very intimidating.\u201d<\/p>\n While Jack seemed frustrated that many of the new metal festivals are \u201cbasically just Ozzfest\u201d, his mom said they encouraged that as \u201cit\u2019s still great for the genre\u201d as a whole.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The former Black Sabbath star has seen his health decline over recent years after getting diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s Disease and then having to undergo multiple surgeries on his spine following a fall in 2019.<\/p>\n He revealed to Rolling Stone UK after his last operation in September: \u201cThe second surgery went drastically wrong and virtually left me crippled.<\/p>\n \u201cThey found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [ad_2]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [ad_1] Sharon Osbourne took hold of the mic in the latest episode of her family\u2019s podcast The Osbournes, as she bashed Coachella for losing its roots and shared some keen insights on the future of Ozzfest.
