TV personality Sharon Osbourne has revealed that she wanted to divorce her rocker husband Ozzy following his drug and alcohol relapse last year.
In her upcoming autobiography 'Unbreakable', the 60-year-old 'X Factor' judge said she was on the brink of ending her marriage just before their 30th anniversary, reported Daily mirror.
The book describes the details of her recent marital woes to the rocker when divorce rumours surfaced in May 2013 as Sharon found out that Ozzy was using prescription drugs.
Sharon discovered that Ozzy was back to drugs after she found desperate texts sent from his phone asking people for drugs. This led her to demand a divorce the evening before their 30th anniversary.
"I never knew he was using prescription drugs. I knew he was drinking occasionally but didn't realise the extent. I am devastated. It's a disease that not only hurts the person who has it but it hurts the people who love you," Sharon had said at that time.
Sharon's autobiography will hit stands on October 10.
