British rock singer Ozzy Osbourne said he is fed up with U.S. gun violence and plans to move back permanently to England, local media reported.

“Everything’s ridiculous there. I’m fed up with people getting killed every day,” said Osbourne, a former vocalist of the English rock band Black Sabbath.

“God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings,” he added.

Osbourne, 73, said he plans to sell his house in Los Angeles and move to his estate in southeast England.

“Because “I don’t want to die in America,” and “I’m English. I want to be back.”

His wife, Sharon, said they made the decision because “America has changed so drastically.

“It isn’t the United States of America at all. Nothing’s united about it. It’s a very weird place to live right now.’’
