Ozzy Osbourne has finally spoken out about rumors that have been surrounding both him and his marriage. The 64-year-old musician has stated that he was recently fighting a battle with drugs and alcohol.

Osbourne updated his fans on the situation via Facebook late on Monday evening.

"For the last year and a half I have been drinking and taking drugs," the message stated. "I was in a very dark place and was an asshole to the people I love most, my family. However, I am happy to say that I am now 44 days sober."

Osbourne took the time to apologize to those his behavior may have negatively affected, writing, "I would like to apologize to Sharon, my family, my friends and my band mates for my insane behavior during this period.........and my fans."
