Ozzy Osbourne explains why he's leaving America: 'I'm fed up with people getting killed every day.'

Ozzy Osbourne's American dream is coming to an end.

While the Black Sabbath rocker and his family's L.A. antics brought them early reality TV fame on MTV's The Osbournes, Osbourne is ready to move back to his native England. In a new interview with the Observer, the 73-year-old cited gun violence in the United States as a factor in his decision to leave.

“Everything’s f***ing ridiculous there," Osbourne told the U.K. newspaper. "I’m fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert. … It’s f***ing crazy."

If my parents were not alive and in their 80’s, I’d be seriously exploring options. Denmark, Portugal, New Zealand, and even Canada are high on my list.

"Rich Guy With Endless Options Decides To Move" would be a better headline.
I'm not taking societal advice from Ozzy.
If he wants to move, fine.
He's not exactly a paragon of good living.
And, I'm a ran of his music. I still don't care about this opinion.

Wonder where he will go? Or if. People say stuff like that and never do it.

To move the Osbourne machine back to the UK requires more motivation than that.

I'm guessing taxes had a lot to do with him being here in the first place.
