Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne believed his wife Sharon was planning to kill him after reportedly becoming paranoid due to alcohol and drugs.

Sharon walked out on the rocker after an 18-month battle to get him to overcome his addictions, finally reaching breaking point when he didn't sleep for six days, reported Daily Star.

A friend of the couple said, "He kept accusing Sharon of plotting to kill him. It was heartbreaking for her. He was screaming and sobbing, 'They are trying to kill me. Sharon's trying to kill me'. It was horrendous.

"He was living in an imaginary world for most of the time and seeing a lot of things that weren't even there."
 

It is said that the 64-year-old star doesn't remember all of these incidents, which included going for days without washing.

"Ozzy knows he has put Sharon through hell but the truth is he can't even remember half of what he did. Recently he was so out of it he survived for nearly a week without sleep and just made Sharon's life pure hell. He was running around in the same clothes all the time, not washing," the friend added.

Ozzy although is hoping to win Sharon back, the former 'X Factor' judge isn't as keen.

"Sharon has been through it so many times before that she's asking herself, at 60, does she really want to spend the rest of her life like this? Ozzy keeps calling her around the clock but she's ignoring a lot of it ... He seems to think he can win her back, but Sharon isn't so sure as she's been living in a private hell," the friend said.
