\"SharonSharon Osbourne drops bombshell about Queen, Freddie Mercury<\/p>\n

Sharon Osbourne just casually dropped one of the most unexpected rock history stories ever \u2013 and it all started with a conversation about the new Michael Jackson biopic.<\/p>\n

During a recent episode of The Osbournes podcast, Sharon and her son, Jack Osbourne, were discussing how movies like Michael and Bohemian Rhapsody reignite interest in legendary artists. But then Sharon veered into personal history\u2026 and revealed her family once managed Queen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe managed them for one month,\u201d Sharon said, instantly stunning Jack.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had no idea,\u201d he replied, before joking, \u201cLet me guess, your dad f–ked it up?\u201d<\/p>\n

Turns out, not exactly.<\/p>\n

Sharon explained that before Queen exploded globally, she was dating a man who bought clothes from a Kensington market where Freddie Mercury worked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Through family connections, the band briefly ended up under her father Don Arden\u2019s management \u2013 until one dinner party changed everything.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe invited John Reid,\u201d Sharon recalled, referring to John Reid, who later managed Queen. \u201cFreddie met John, John met Freddie. Love at first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then came the breakup line no manager wants to hear: \u201cWe love you, but we love each other more.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharon also revisited her old criticism of Bohemian Rhapsody, calling it a \u201cHallmark rock movie\u201d that was \u201csqueaky clean.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Sharon, the long-discussed biopic about her late husband Ozzy Osbourne will be much messier \u2013 and much more real.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not making it for kids,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s an adult movie for adults.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sharon Osbourne drops bombshell about Queen, Freddie Mercury Sharon Osbourne just casually dropped one of the most unexpected…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":226202,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[9,24,63,122,124,123],"class_list":["post-226201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=226201"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/226201\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/226202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=226201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=226201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=226201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
