Aimée Rachel Osbourne is an English-American actress and singer. She is the eldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. While her siblings Jack and Kelly achieved pop culture fame for appearing in the family's MTV reality series The Osbournes, the more private Aimée declined to appear on the show, feeling that doing so would typecast her and affect her musical career. She has expressed discomfort with some of her parents' behavior on television.
Career
In 1991, Osbourne appeared as a child in some videos and documentaries relating to her father's musical career, and appeared on The Howard Stern Show in 1998, but did not reach mainstream acting success until being cast in MTV's 2003 adaptation of Wuthering Heights. She later provided voiceover work in the 2014 animated film . Around 2010, she began recording and releasing music under the project name ARO. ARO, in contrast to her father's heavy metal, has been described as synth pop, and is influenced by Kate Bush and Portishead, as well as PJ Harvey and Massive Attack. She has appeared in her own music videos, and her video for "Raining Gold" received two million hits in just two months. ARO so far have performed only three live shows. Union Pool, Brooklyn on April 1, 2015, Mercury Lounge, New York City, on April 2 2015 and The Echo, Los Angeles, on February 9, 2016. In 2016, after having releasing three songs "Raining Gold", "I Can Change" and "Cocaine Style", updates on the project started to become few and far between. On October 17 2018 ARO announced on their official Instagram page that an EP was in the works thanking the fans for their patience. ARO teased new material on Instagram on December 5 2018 with a snippet of a song called "Beats of My Heart". As of 2020 neither the EP or the single have been released and no new updates regarding the band had been released which suggests the band was either on hiatus or broken up. On February 13 2020, ARO posted their first update in over a year stating "Thank you all so much for your interest. Not long to go now". The post also revealed the debut album will be released on indie record label "Makerecords". On July 24 2020, ARO released their first single in four years "Shared Something With the Night". Osbourne revealed the title of ARO's upcoming LP to be Vacare Adamaré and that they plan to release it in "EP-like chapters, built around videos for each song". Speaking of upcoming live shows she stated: "I want the live show to feel like you’re on the haunted mansion ride at Disneyland, with a little Studio 54, a touch of vaudeville and a lot of Blade Runner. It will be ghostly and poetic with some neon and hypnotic laser lights to captivate all the senses."
Personal life
Her maternal grandfather was Don Arden, an English music manager. In March 2020, she was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery to remove her appendix.
