Sharon Osbourne has revealed in her book that she wanted a divorce from her husband Ozzy Osbourne, after he returned to his habit of drugs and alcohol.

According to the Mirror, the former 'X Factor' judge wrote in her book 'Unbreakable' that she demanded a divorce from the Black Sabbath frontman on the heels of their 30th wedding anniversary in 2012, the New York Daily News reported.

In the memoir, which is due out October 10, Osbourne has reportedly confessed that she had had it with her husband, after finding several text messages on his phone in which he asked for drugs from people.

Osbourne also explained in her memoir that it was the "saddest thing" to tell her children that their parents might be splitting for good.

The 64-year-old rocker had revealed earlier that he had relapsed back into alcohol and substance abuse through a short message he posted on his Facebook page.
