A source told UsWeekly.com: “Sharon found out about the affair by searching through Ozzy’s emails. She was upset that he was supporting this woman!” After she found out about her spouse’s alleged infidelity, Sharon - who has grown-up children Kelly, 31, Aimee, 32 and Jack, 30, with Ozzy - bombarded Michelle’s place of work, believed to be the posh MÍche Salon in Beverly Hills, with phone calls and subsequently had her fired. The insider explained: “She and [daughter] Kelly both called the salon repeatedly for about two weeks before the news broke, trying to get in touch with Michelle. They were really angry. Sharon is the reason Michelle was let go.” Sharon confirmed she’d split from the Black Sabbath rocker, whom she married in 1982, on her chat show ‘The Talk’ on Tuesday as she thanked fans for their support. She said: “I’m 63 years of age, and I can’t keep living like this ... I’ve been avoiding looking at any pictures or reading anything. I know what’s going on. I don’t need to read about or see about it. It’s like putting salt in a wound. I don’t need to ... He’s back, and now I’m out of the house.” Meanwhile, the infidelity claims sparked rumors the 67-year- old rocker, who has battled with drugs and alcohol addictions in the past, had fallen off the wagon again. However, although he refused to deny reports he’d cheated on his wife, he quickly poured cold water on relapse reports. He said: “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 com- pletely inaccurate.”.

  • Black Women's Music Database
    By Stephanie Y. Evans & Stephanie Shonekan Black Women’s Music Database chronicles over 600 Africana singers, songwriters, composers, and musicians from around the world. The database was created by Dr. Stephanie Evans, a professor of Black women’s studies (intellectual history) and developed in collaboration with Dr. Stephanie Shonekon, a professor of Black studies and music (ethnomusicology). Together, with support from top music scholars, the Stephanies established this project to encourage interdisciplinary research, expand creative production, facilitate community building and, most importantly, to recognize and support Black women’s creative genius. This database will be useful for music scholars and ethnomusicologists, music historians, and contemporary performers, as well as general audiences and music therapists. Music heals. The purpose of the Black Women’s Music Database research collective is to amplify voices of singers, musicians, and scholars by encouraging public appreciation, study, practice, performance, and publication, that centers Black women’s experiences, knowledge, and perspectives. This project maps leading Black women artists in multiple genres of music, including gospel, blues, classical, jazz, R & B, soul, opera, theater, rock-n-roll, disco, hip hop, salsa, Afro- beat, bossa nova, soka, and more. Study of African American music is now well established.
