SHARON OSBOURNE Is Working On An OZZY & LEMMY Cartoon: “It’s Irreverent And Funny”


Sharon Osbourne is working on a new superhero cartoon featuring Ozzy Osbourne and the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister. According to Osbourne in an interview with The Entertainer Magazine, “It’s very, very funny. It’s irreverent and funny. Hopefully somebody will buy that and that’ll go out. We’re excited about it.”

The cartoon wouldn’t be the first time Ozzy and Lemmy went on an animated adventure, as the duo did exactly that in the “Hellraiser” video from 2022. I think where I’m personally getting a little hung up here is that obviously there’s no way to know if Lemmy would’ve wanted this for himself, and that his inclusion feels more like the use of intellectual property more than anything else.

But who knows – maybe I’m wrong, this cartoon kicks ass, there was an indication that Lemmy was down with something like this, and this whole things goes straight to Metalocalypse levels. I hope it does.

As for Ozzy Osbourne himself, he’s still struggling with health issues. Osbourne sadly cancelled his upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party film festival for the weekend of July 12. According to a statement from Osbourne‘s wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, their son Jack Osbourne will take Ozzy‘s place.

“Regretfully, the Osbourne family have to cancel our upcoming appearance at the Mad Monster Party in Phoenix because Ozzy is unable to travel at this time. However, Jack will be there flying the flag for the Osbournes. Everybody who bought the Osbourne package will, of course, get full refunds.

“We would like to thank you all for your constant support. It means so much to him, you have no idea. And all I can do is apologize that we won’t be there and I’m apologizing for people we’ve let down from my heart. So God bless you all. Thank you so much.”

Sadly the cancellation isn’t too surprising, given Ozzy‘s current health and his inability to perform live. We wish Ozzy all the best with everything really, truly hope we can at least get that one final Black Sabbath show with Bill Ward behind the kit sometime in the future. Though a proper Ozzy farewell tour would also be awesome.
