From Rock Stardom to Tech Life: Elliot Osbourne's Quiet New Zealand Journey
The Unseen Side of Ozzy Osbourne: The Tragic Tale of His Forgotten Son Elliot
As the world mourns the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, a shocking revelation has surfaced about his family's tribute to the late music icon. In a move that has left fans reeling, Ozzy's adopted son Elliot was noticeably absent from the family's statement announcing his passing, sparking questions about the reasons behind this glaring omission.
Elliot Osbourne, who grew up with the Black Sabbath frontman and his first wife Thelma Riley, had seemingly been written out of the family's narrative. But a closer look at his life reveals that he had been quietly building a new life in New Zealand, far removed from the spotlight that once shone brightly on his famous father.
According to sources close to Elliot, the 30-year-old IT technician has been living with his wife Joanne Crawford, an Occupational Health academic from Scotland, in Wellington. The couple met while working in the UK and relocated to New Zealand five years ago, where Elliot has worked as a Level One Helpdesk and Support Technician for three years.
But what's perhaps most intriguing about Elliot's story is that he was once part of Ozzy's inner circle. Growing up with his father in Birmingham, Elliot attended King Edward VI High School in Stafford and later studied at Birmingham College. He even had a flair for the dramatic, attending Stoke City football club matches and being interviewed by the local radio station.
However, it seems that Elliot's connection to his famous family began to fray as he grew older. In 2002, he left the UK with Joanne, relocating to Bathgate in Scotland before eventually making the move to New Zealand. The couple has two sons, Owyn and James, but little is known about their youngest child, who was born after Elliot's decision to start anew.
As Ozzy battled Parkinson's Disease for six years, Elliot remained out of sight, opting not to publicly acknowledge his father's struggles or eventual passing. In contrast, Ozzy's other children, Aimee and Kelly, Jack and Louis, were all named in the family statement announcing his death. The glaring omission has raised questions about the dynamics within the Osbourne household.
But Elliot is not the only member of Ozzy's family to have distanced themselves from their famous father. In a 2011 documentary film, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, Louis revealed that he often struggled with Ozzy's drinking habits and chaotic lifestyle. "When he was around and he wasn't [drunk], he was a great father," Louis said in the documentary. "But that was kind of seldom, really."
Jessica, Ozzy's daughter from his first marriage to Thelma, also shared her own account of growing up with a troubled parent. "I don't remember being put to bed or having a bath by dad or anything like that," she said in an interview. "He wasn't there for us, no, never on sports day, school trip, parents' evening."
The Scholary Note can reveal that Jessica has two daughters, Isabelle and Kitty, and one son called Harry, with her husband Benjamin. Aimee, Ozzy's eldest daughter, is also a singer and performs under the initials ARO. Her life, too, has taken a dramatic turn, having moved to California at age 16 and pursuing music.
As for Elliot, his silence on social media about his father's passing is telling. His brother Louis, on the other hand, has been vocal in his grief, changing his Facebook profile picture to an all-black screen. But despite their differing reactions to Ozzy's death, it seems that both brothers have managed to carve out new lives for themselves, far removed from the drama and chaos that once surrounded them.
In a shocking twist, The Scholary Note can reveal that Elliot has stayed in contact with his brother Louis, whose wife Louise praised him for sending sweet gifts for their children on Facebook. But this news raises more questions than answers about the complicated relationships within the Osbourne family.
As fans continue to mourn Ozzy's passing, the story of his forgotten son Elliot serves as a poignant reminder that even those closest to us can sometimes fall out of sight. The reasons behind Elliot's decision to start anew in New Zealand remain unclear, but one thing is certain: Ozzy's legacy will continue to be felt for generations to come.
In related news, sources close to the Osbourne family have revealed that an air ambulance was called to their grand country home as paramedics battled to save Ozzy's life for two hours. Friends of Sharon Osbourne fear that she may now bury Ozzy in the gardens of their 350-acre estate in an intimate family funeral due to her frailty.
The final photograph of Ozzy before his death was taken on stage during his farewell concert at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, where he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. The aptly-titled Back to the Beginning show saw over 42,000 fans pack into the stadium, a testament to Ozzy's enduring legacy.
As the world says goodbye to one of rock's most iconic figures, the story of Elliot Osbourne serves as a poignant reminder that even in the spotlight, there are always secrets and stories left untold.
