SHARON: VINCE Is 'A Pathetic 50-Year-Old' Who Continues To Put Innocent People's Lives At Risk

Ozzy Osbourne's wife/manager Sharon has responded to MÖTLEY CRÜE frontman Vince Neil's comments about her in his upcoming autobiography, "Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen", in which he slams Sharon over the way she allegedly acted towards the CRÜE during the band's 1984 tour as the support act for Ozzy.

On page 151 of the autobiography, excerpts from which are available on the Hachette Book Group web site, Neil writes, "It just really sickens me today to watch everybody fawning all over Sharon Osbourne. She's a talent judge on TV and she has her own show and this and that. This is the most evil, shittiest woman I've ever met in my life. She would fucking have you killed if it was to her advantage. She's just... it's just... if people really knew."

In an exclusive statement sent to PerezHilton.com, Sharon Osbourne responded to Neil by saying, "I was saddened to hear about the quote from Vince Neil's forthcoming book in which he calls me 'the most evil and shittiest woman I've ever met in my life' for trying to stop my husband from hanging around with him when MÖTLEY CRÜE opened for Ozzy on his '84 U.S. arena tour.

"Guilty!

"Vince, of course I tried to keep my husband away from you at all costs as I truly felt that you were a danger to Ozzy, yourself and everyone around you. I didn't want him to end up like Razzle from HANOI ROCKS who died in a car accident because you were driving drunk, or like the two innocent people who ended up with severe brain damage and whose lives were ruined as a result of your actions.

"Today I see you as a pathetic 50-year-old party boy who continues to put innocent people's lives at risk by getting behind the wheel of your car and driving drunk and being arrested for assaulting women.

"Enough said."

According to Jessica Pressler of New York magazine, Neil appeared to have accepted or buried his resentment towards Sharon Osbourne while MÖTLEY CRÜE was on tour with Ozzy as part of this year's Ozzfest. Pressler writes in the magazine that Vince "ran into" Sharon in the parking lot of the Susquehanna in Camden, New Jersey at the August 22, 2010 stop of the Ozzfest tour. "Sharon," he said, embracing her, according to Pressler.

"Tattoos & Tequila: To Hell and Back with One of Rock's Most Notorious Frontmen" is scheduled for release on September 23 via Grand Central Publishing.

Regarding his autobiography, Vince Neil said in a recent interview with Sonic Shocks, "'The Dirt' was written by four guys; this is MY story. I touched a lot of things in 'The Dirt', but I really didn't get into details; me growing up, my neighbourhood... I grew up in Compton and there were murders and such… It's the story of me growing up, getting into rock 'n' roll, the tragedies in my life, things in and out of MÖTLEY, and it's also ten years on so a lot of things happened since then. It's not only my perspective on my life, a lot of other people are in there: my mom and dad, ex-wives, managers, friends, band members from other bands…"

Vince's new solo album, "Tattoos & Tequila", sold 7,500 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 57 on The Billboard 200 chart.

"Tattoos & Tequila" was issued in Europe on June 4 via Frontiers Records and was made available in the U.S. on June 22 through Eleven Seven Music.
