Sharon Osbourne and Ozzy Osbourne announced that a biopic about their relationship will be made, showing how they met, fell in love and married. “I hope it will be a story that everybody can relate to. So you don’t have to be a fan of the music, because it’s a story about a survivor. No matter what life throws at you, you pick yourself up and you start again. So it’s just an amazing story of overcoming everything that’s thrown at you in your life,” Sharon Osbourne said.
