That was also like 10 years ago. People can quit drinking and doing drugs and it can really change them.
So why does Ozzy still seem like he is drugged up hmmmmm?
Who cares? He voiced his opinion and everyone got pissy about it.
The only one who has a right to get mad is the family. Even they at this point have no reason to get mad when they went on tv and showed their personal life for millions to watch. Kelly said there needs to be mutual respect for artists? She should practice what she preaches. She has a column to promote hence her little rant. If she had any class she should have just said "Last week John Lydon made some accusations about my father which years ago may have been true, but are now false. He has been clean for years. Keep up with the times John." What do you expect though when their mother is Sharon Osbourne?
Just because you do not agree with someone's former personal life does not mean you do not respect their art. Looks like he does respect Ozzy the artist not Ozzy the person. I'm cool with that I think people need to seperate the two.
I'm just wondering how people would have reacted if Lydon was talking about Michael Jackson.
