Sharon is still the boss: Ozzy Osbourne

Los Angeles: Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne says his estranged wife Sharon Osbourne is still "the boss" as the former couple made their first public appearance together since their recent split.

Sharon kicked Ozzy out of their Los Angeles home amid reports that he had been sleeping with hairdresser Michelle Pugh but she remains his business manager.

They recently reunited at the Los Angeles Palladium for a press conference where Sharon supported Ozzy by announcing the merging of their annual music festival Ozzfest and American metal band Slipknot's music festival Knotfest.

"Our wives have been very important to us," Ozzy told eonline.com.

When asked if she is "still the boss," he replied, "Oh, yeah".
