Ozzy goes back to UK due to high California taxes – IOTW Report

Ozzy goes back to UK due to high California taxes

am-

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne have reportedly decided to move from California and return to the U.K. due to the high taxes in the Golden State, according to The Mirror.

The outlet reports that the Black Sabbath legend and his manager and wife are joining the growing number of people fleeing from California and they plan to return to their U.K. home Welders House in Buckinghamshire.

They shared this quote from Ozzy about the decision, “We are leaving LA. We are a bit sad. But the tax is getting too much. I am sad because I really, really like staying and living there.

“If they do the taxes better then I may come back. I do not know. I am taking my recording studio with me. I am going to build a barn there and make my own studio at Welders. I will still be making music and my band will come over.”

  1. @PHenry –
    “…Well, there are other states ozzy. Like 49 of them…”

    Yeah but 40 or so of them are fly-over country, and the rest are too hot, too cold or too democratically controlled.

  2. Now THERE’S a switch! I can remember back in the 60s when the Stones left the UK to move to the States because of the high taxes (IIRC, it was 101% of income)

  3. If Ozzy makes a million dollars a year, he’ll save 100k per year moving to a non-statetax state. His taxes in England will be higher.

    There’s more to the story.

  4. God, I used to love Ozzy’s music. Then about a year-and-half-ago, found a tweet from him where he bent the knee to Burn Loot Murder. Deleted everything I had from him, haven’t listened to him since.

  5. @Burr – I was in an elevator with Ozzy once, and that was pretty much the state he was in. Fortunately he had a handler with him, would hate to imagine him behind the wheel of his car in that condition!

  6. I saw him on that show of his, Dan. He was trying to have a beach fire. Without taking the plastic wrapper off the bundle of firewood.

    cop: “sorry Mr. Osborne, there’s no fires allowed here”

    Ozzy: LITERAL TRANSCRIPT “Whuzza du meh fuh fuh…me fuh no rahmehmmble”

    Cop: ……O…..K……

    Ozzy: sah fasha? so so so muhblmb fuh nah guh.

    Cop: exactly.

  7. Godspeed, Mr. Osbourne. A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. You provided musical entertainment for me growing up, and I still listen to this day. Thank you. Ozzy Rules! 🤘😎🤘
