Unbreakable: My New Autobiography

by Sharon Osbourne

  This frame originally held a picture of Ozzy meeting his hero Paul McCartney. The inscription now reads: Minnie was bigger than any Beatle. I love you. Ozzy.

  Bella is now top dog, and I couldn’t ask for a more loyal – or a cuter – friend.

  The Osbournes (2002): The show that kicked off this whole crazy ride. We all have mixed feelings about the series now.

  The Osbournes Reloaded (2009): The show that I hoped would bring the family back together, both on and offscreen. You can see from our expressions that it was not the happy experience I was hoping for.

  Kelly, recently emerged from rehab, practises her Dancing with the Stars routine with partner Louis van Amstel in 2009.

  Kelly and Louis dance a beautiful Viennese Waltz for their first Dancing with the Stars performance.

  Ozzy and I were so incredibly proud of Kelly, and delighted to see her happy and healthy after her recent troubles.

  Kelly and her fiancé, Matthew Mosshart.

  Ozzy celebrates his 60th birthday in Las Vegas. His cake featured a fabulous photo of him as an angelic-looking little boy.

  With Aimee, Ozzy, Kelly and Jack at Ozzy’s 60th.

  Ward, Iommi, Osbourne, Butler: The original band line-up in 1970.

  And at a press conference with producer Rick Rubin (below, far right) announcing their reunion in 2011.

  Back with my good friend Louis Walsh for The X Factor judges’ houses auditions in 2010.

  With Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff on the judging panel of America’s Got Talent in 2008.

  I loved my time on AGT (here in 2011 with a new judge, Howie Mandel) and was very sad when it had to come to an end.

  The Apprentice was an incredibly stressful experience. Here I am running around New York, trying to complete one of the ridiculous tasks.

  With Lady Gaga and my friend and fellow Apprentice contestant Cyndi Lauper at a Mac event in 2010. I was so disappointed in Gaga for not taking a stand when her fans bullied Kelly.

  What’s a Bieber? Justin Bieber was sweet and professional when we filmed a Superbowl advert with him in 2011.

  I have so much fun working on The Talk, both on set and backstage.

  L–R: Sheryl Underwood, Sara Gilbert, guest Lucy Liu, me, Aisha Tyler and Julie Chen.

  It’s a tough job, but someone’s gotta do it. Re-enacting the most famous scene from Ghost, with the cast of the Broadway show on The Talk.

  Like father, like son? Above: Ozzy with two-week-old Jack in 1985.

  Jack with baby Pearl, 2012.

  It was strange to be back in Hawaii for Jack and Lisa’s wedding, thirty years after Ozzy and I exchanged our own vows in Maui.

  Of course it was a happy occasion, but I couldn’t help reflect on the perilous state of my own marriage.

  Celebrating Jack and Lisa’s marriage, with their daughter Pearl.

  Bridesmaid and proud sister, Kelly.

  It was wonderful to be surrounded by our oldest and closest friends at Jack and Lisa’s wedding. Above, Ozzy with (L–R) our manager Colin Newman, Colin’s wife Mette, Sabbath bass player Terry ‘Geezer’ Butler and his wife, and my best friend, Gloria.

  Me with Gloria, Geezer and Colin.

  My precious granddaughter Pearl.

  With Lisa, truly one of the family.

  Ladies who lunch.

  The whole family was devastated by Jack’s MS diagnosis, but his response has been truly inspiring. Here he is receiving the Medal of Hope award for his charity work at the 2013 Race to Erase MS gala.

  At the Race to Erase MS event with Lisa, Jack, our good friend Nancy Davis and Kelly.

  Moving out and moving on. The picture that revealed to the world that mine and Ozzy’s marriage was really on the rocks this time.

  Meanwhile, Ozzy was celebrating the success of Sabbath’s reunion album, 13, which went to number 1 in the UK and around the world.

  Appearing in this sketch with Olly Murs, Louis Walsh, Simon Cowell, David Walliams and Dermot O’Leary was, quite literally, Comic Relief after my recent troubles.

  At dinner in London with Simon, Louis and Sinitta, after we wrapped filming the Comic Relief sketch.

  Guess who’s back?

  With Louis, Nicole Scherzinger and Gary Barlow for series 10 of The X Factor. This time around it’s all genuine laughter and friendship.

  The Osbournes. Everything I do has always been for Jack, Ozzy, Kelly and Aimee.
