Ozzy to split with Sony Records

Ozzy Osbourne and Sony Records will be ending a two-decade relationship as the heavy metal rocker goes in search of what his manager-wife called “fresh ideas”.

Sharon Osbourne is in the process of negotiating the former Black Sabbath frontman’s exit from Sony, as well as that of their daughter, Kelly, publicist Lisa Vega said. They were not ready to discuss which record label they would sign with, Vega said.
