Sharon Osbourne Details Hospital Stay, Missed Ozzy Osbourne Tribute
Louis Osbourne & Jessica Osbourne
Ozzy’s oldest kids from his marriage to Thelma admittedly didn’t spend a lot of time with the rocker, who was often away on tour.
“My recollection from my childhood with dad is that he’d be away for very long periods of time, and there’d always be a period of adjustment when he came home, and then it’d get to normality and then he’d go again,” Jessica said in the 2011 documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne. “So, it was a very erratic childhood with dad.”
And when he was home, he’d frequently go to the pubs.
“When he was around and he wasn’t pissed, he was a great father,” Louis added. “But that was kind of seldom really.”
After Ozzy and Thelma split, he and his kids still kept in touch. In fact, there was an episode of The Osbournes where Ozzy received a call that Jessica had given birth and he was a grandfather for the first time. Louis has also shared that he sees Aimee, Kelly and Jack sporadically.
“I don’t travel half as much as I used to and they are in America,” he told Birmingham Live in 2012. “There is more chance of us seeing each other in a random New York hotel than us all getting round a table for a Sunday lunch. We meet on special occasions.”
He and his dad, however, made it a point to check in on the regular.
“Dad usually calls on a Sunday afternoon for a catch up and when he comes over to the UK we take the kids down,” Louis added. “Dad is great, very much a doting grandad.”
Little has been shared publicly about Louis and Jessica’s brother Elliot.
