The Black Sabbath rocker is 'fed up' with gun violence in the United States and hopes to be buried in his home country instead of in Hollywood celebrity cemetery when he dies.

AceShowbiz - Ozzy Osbourne is moving back to his native country of UK because he's sick of gun violence in the US. After living in the US with his wife and children for more than 25 years, 73-year-old Ozzy has decided to return home after becoming disillusioned with life in America.
"Everything's f****** ridiculous there. I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings," Ozzy - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 - shared. "And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert … It's f****** crazy."
Ozzy also insisted he doesn't want to die in the US and be buried in Forest Lawn, the cemetery in California that's become the resting place of many celebrities, including Dame Elizabeth Taylor and Humphrey Bogart.
He told the Observer newspaper, "I don't want to die in America. I don't want to be buried in f****** Forest Lawn. I'm English. I want to be back. But, saying that, if my wife said we've got to go and live in Timbuktu, I'll go. But, no, it's just time for me to come home."
Ozzy previously revealed that he plans to bring his "millions of dollars worth" of music recording equipment with him on his return to the UK. The "Paranoid" hitmaker had actually planned to relocate to England even sooner - but his ambitions were derailed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ozzy - who tested positive for COVID earlier this year - said, "I've got a million dollars' worth of stuff including mixing boards, the whole deal. I've done two albums since I got sick and if I hadn't had anything to do with music, I'd have gone f****** insane."
