Kelly Osbourne has admitted that she regrets quitting music and has thought about how life would have been different if she hadn’t stopped.
On the recent episode of The Osbournes podcast, Kelly talked about her past music career. When asked about her decision to quit music and if she regrets not following her father’s footsteps, she said she thought about it:
“I’ve definitely thought about it and what life would have been like if I hadn’t stopped.”
She shared her regret and added:
“It’s definitely a regret. Will I do anything about that regret? I don’t know.”
Kelly Felt Stuck To A Single Genre
In 2002, Kelly Osbourne started her music career with a pop-metal cover of Madonna’s ‘Papa Don’t Preach,’ at her mom’s suggestion. Her debut album, ‘Shut Up!’ had a strong rock vibe but she got dropped by Epic Records just two months into touring.
She made a comeback in 2005 with her second album, ‘Sleeping in the Nothing,’ but hasn’t released any music since then.
Kelly told Paper Magazine she felt boxed into a pop-punk image by her former label. She also admitted that it might have been influenced by her rockstar parents:
“People think I’m a joke and that I’m famous because of who my father is. They wanted that ‘F*ck you, I’m a girl, here’s my punk-rock-pop’ attitude. They told me what to wear and demanded that I lose weight. And when I didn’t want to do it, they said, ‘You’re 16. You have a record deal. Why are you complaining?’ So I didn’t say anything.”
Kelly later shifted fully to a TV career.
