25 July 2025

Ringo Starr‘s son, drummer Zak Starkey who played for about 30 years with
The Who, several years as a touring member for Oasis, who started Johnny Marr
and the Healers
, and was/is involved in other projects as a producer has shared
a screenshot of an email he got in 1993 from Ozzy’s wife/manager, Sharon
Osbourne
.

The email was sent ahead of the band’s shows planned
for the summer of 2013. Sharon can definitely crack
a joke.
