Sharon Osbourne drops a surprising music-world confession: she briefly managed Queen, played matchmaker for Freddie Mercury and has strong views on rock biopics. Read on to discover the full story!

A short-lived management twist

On The Osbournes podcast, Sharon recalled dating a man who shopped at an antique market in Kensington where Freddie Mercury worked. She revealed that she and her circle "managed them for one month," a revelation that even left her son Jack stunned.

The meeting that changed careers

Sharon says they invited John Reid — then connected to Elton John and EMI — to a party where he and Freddie met. Reid later served as Queen's manager from 1975 to early 1978, and Sharon remembers stepping back when two friends fell for each other.
