Bob Daisley recently addressed his willingness to reconcile with Sharon Osbourne. He discussed the possibility of future dialogue in an interview with Loaded Radio.
The bassist explained his current stance on potentially talking to Sharon Osbourne despite their complicated history. He emphasized his non-vindictive nature.
“I would talk. I don’t hate her. If there was something to talk about, of course I’d talk. I’m not a vindictive person and I don’t hold grudges,” Daisley said.
He also reflected on the emotional impact of past events involving the Osbourne family.
“And I felt for Ozzy’s family that day too. Nobody likes to see people suffer. Well, I don’t like to see people suffer,” he continued. “And it was sad for me, with all the nice memories that came back, and it was sad for me to know what they were going through.”
The comments suggest a softening in Daisley’s position regarding his relationship with the Osbourne family.
Daisley’s willingness to reconcile comes after decades of legal battles and personal disputes. These conflicts have defined his relationship with the Osbournes since the early 2000s.
Chaoszine reported that the 75-year-old veteran bassist and songwriter co-wrote much of Ozzy Osbourne’s early solo catalog. This includes the critically acclaimed albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman. His contributions to these landmark records established him as a key creative force behind Ozzy’s solo success.
The relationship between Daisley and the Osbournes deteriorated significantly over disputes regarding album credits and unpaid royalties. Chaoszine noted that Daisley last spoke to Sharon around 2001 in New York during a deposition tied to their royalty dispute. This occurred right after the September 11 attacks.
The conflict reached a particularly bitter point when Sharon made a controversial decision regarding the original recordings. WBZ NewsRadio revealed that Sharon admitted in 2019 to re-recording Daisley’s and drummer Lee Kerslake’s bass and drum tracks on those classic albums “just to teach Bob a lesson.”
“I was a mean bitch,” Sharon acknowledged during her admission. She reflected on her treatment of Ozzy’s former collaborators during the height of their legal disputes.
