She went on, "Here's a man that does know what's going on in the street with people. Not just politics, not just you know, here's a man that cares about the environment, animals. He cares about many, many, many things."

Sharon said that the King also was in touch with her family 22 years ago, when Ozzy was in the hospital after a motorbike accident. She said appreciatively, "He's got a good heart. He didn't have to do certain things that he's done for Ozzy. He is a good, caring man with a good heart."
