Ozzy Osbourne reveals suicide pact with his wife

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he has made a pact with Sharon, his wife, that if he suffers from a stroke or is diagnosed with Alzheimers, then she is to switch off his life support machine.

Following on from Sharon's 2007 autobiography, in which she wrote that the couple had decided to bring each other to Dignitas, the Swiss assisted death clinic, if either was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, Ozzy has told The Daily Mirror, that other illnesses are also included in their pact.

He said: "If I can’t get up and go to the bathroom myself and I’ve got tubes up my a** and an enema in my throat, then I’ve said to Sharon, ‘Just turn the machine off’.

"If I had a stroke and was paralysed I don’t want to be here. I’ve made a will and it’s all going to Sharon if I die before her, so ultimately it will all go to the kids."

After an extended period of sobriety, Ozzy admitted to fans via a Facebook post last year that he had been heavily dabbling in drugs and drink for the past year and a half, but had ditched his demons yet again.

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne celebrated their wedding anniversary yesterday (July 4).

Black Sabbath headlined the British Summer Time Festival at Hyde Park in London last night (July 4). Others in the line-up included Soundgarden, Faith No More, Motorhead and Soulfly.
