As OK! previously reported, the "Crazy Train" artist's health recently took a nose dive. Sharon shared the news back in June that Ozzy would be undergoing a major surgery that would "determine the rest of his life." However, she's since clarified her husband's ailing health had nothing to do with their decision to move back to the United Kingdom.

“I knew people would think that. It’s not. It’s just time. America has changed so drastically," the former America's Got Talent judge explained. "It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it. It’s a very weird place to live right now."
