Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne are no longer a romantic pair. However, they are still in business together.

They were married for 33 years and separated last Saturday. But they reunited at the Los Angeles Palladium for a press conference on Thursday. Sharon supported Ozzy when she announced that Ozzfest and Slipknot's Knotfest were going to merge.

The rock star said that Sharon is still the lead as far as his professional journey is concerned.

"Our wives have been very important to us," Ozzy said.

So is she "still the boss?" Osbourne piped up with "Oh, yeah."

And will she continue to be the boss? Osbourne replied: "Oh yeah, I hope so."

Regarding Ozzfest, Sharon had some emotional moments. She said: "My kids grew up going to Ozzfest, 20 years it's been around so I have a very soft spot in my heart for Ozzfest."

What did the Talk host want next for Ozzy? She said: "I'd want to see him go out and do his own farewell tour with his own music, because they are two totally different music genres, really. He's got his own fans and [Black] Sabbath, they've got their own fans, so I would like to see him go out and say farewell to his fans."

She greeted Ozzy, Geezer Butler and Slipknot's Clown and Corey Taylor, and then exclaimed: "Twenty years ago, we realized there was no one supporting music the way these guys do."

Hence, to honour Ozzy's 20th anniversary of Ozzfest, she continued, "We decided, why not merge the two fests together. Ozzfest meets Knotfest."

It was last Saturday that the couple broke up and then spoke out about their feelings.

Ozzy agreed that his drug use had led to the divorce. "I have been sober for three and a quarter years," Ozzy said. "I have not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Any reports that I am not sober are completely inaccurate."

Sharon returned to The Talk and explained her side: "It's right for me. I have no idea what I am going to be doing for the rest of my life. I don't know where I am going, who I'm going with and I just need time to think and really think about myself and what I really want for the rest of my life because this is really like getting to the last chapter of the book and I really want to think about it very carefully where I want to go."

She concluded, "I am 63 years of age and I can't keep living like this."
