The Osbournes hang up their Reality TV boots

MUMBAI: The reality show The Osbournes may have been a big hit on MTV across the globe but former rock star Ozzy Osbourne has decided that he has had enough of it.

At the recent MTV Europe Music Awards Osbourne said that after the current third season is completed he and his family will not be returning.

Reports indicate that the show made the family over $80 million. It also resurrected CD sales of the former Black Sabbath frontman. Unfortunately his children had difficulty coping with the sudden thrust into the spotlight. Two of them fought the menace of drug addiction and alcoholism. Another daughter Amy refused to be part of the show.

Ozzy was quoted in a BBC News report saying, “At the end of it I didn’t like having cameras around the house all the time. When you watch a 25-minute episode, you don’t realise that I’ve been filming all day. I suppose Americans get a kick out of watching a crazy Brit family like us make complete fools of ourselves every week.”
