Los Angeles - Ozzy Osbourne has broken his silence for the first time since he was accused of having an affair with a hairdresser.
The Black Sabbath star has reportedly split from Sharon Osbourne, his wife of nearly 34 years, over the allegations and whilst he didn't address their relationship status, he denied rumours he has relapsed.
He told E! News: "I have been sober for three and a quarter years. I have not touched drugs or alcohol in that time. Any reports that I am not sober are completely inaccurate."
Meanwhile, Sharon, 63, was absent from her hosting duties on chat show The Talk on Monday amidst the allegations.
Her co-host Julie Chen said at the beginning of the show: "As we get started, Sharon is not here today. There were many tabloid headlines of her and Ozzy, rumours and speculations that they have split up after nearly 34 years of marriage.
"Sharon understandably took today off and we are sending all of our love to her and to her family. And we ask that you do the same."
Ozzy was spotted out for the first time since news broke carrying a dog and still wearing his wedding ring.
