PICS: Sharon Osbourne awkwardly gives Ozzy the cold shoulder in first appearance together

Cape Town – Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne were pictured together on Thursday for the first time since news broke of their split.

The separated couple announced Ozzfest meets Knotfest, a special event collaboration between Ozzy Osbourne and heavy metal band Slipknot.

As Ozzy and Sharon posed for the camera it is clear to see the Black Sabbath frontman - who is still wearing his wedding ring - isn't ready to let go of Sharon just yet.

News broke on Sunday that the enduring couple in the hard-living world of heavy metal had split following reports Ozzy had been having an affair with the hair-dresser.
