Sharon Osbourne - Sharon Osbourne Quits X Factor After Four Years
Sharon Osbourne has pulled out of the X-Factor shortly before filming on the new series was due to begin.
The 55-year-old had been due to sit alongside Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Dannii Minogue at the first round of London auditions on June 12th.
ITV1 bosses will now be forced to search for a fourth judge after confirming Osbourne's exit in a statement on the network's website.
It said: "Sharon Osbourne has decided to leave The X Factor after four fantastic years.
"ITV thanks her for her immense contribution to the show and for all her humour, compassion and energy.
"She has been a tremendous judge and mentor on the programme but we respect her wish to leave and wish her the very best with her future projects."
Osbourne sensationally walked out of the ITV talent show last year after being forced to choose between two of her three acts.
She appeared on Paul O'Grady's talk show shortly after storming out and said she had made a "mistake", and wanted to come back to the judging panel, and returned to the show shortly after clear-the-air talks.

Guitarist, isaac Bashevis Singer, and songster Tab Benoit makes his home good New Orleans in Houma, LA. Born November 17, 1967, he's one of a handful of bright rising stars on the modern blues scene. For nearly of the nineties, he's been operative each of his records the honest-to-god fashioned way, by playing anyplace and everyplace he and his band can buoy play. Unlike so many others earlier him, Benoit understands that blues is not a mass medium in favour with 50,000-watt commercial rock radio stations, so as a aftermath, he's worked each of his releases with as many shows as he can buoy maybe play. Since the outlet of his first album for Justice, Benoit has taken his brand of Cajun-influenced blues all over the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Prissy and Warm, his debut album for Houston-based Justice Records, prompted some critics to say he's redolent, at times, of trey blues guitar gods: Albert King, Albert Collins, and Jimi Hendrix.
Although the untiring, modest guitar player scoffs at those comparisons, and doesn't think he sounds like them (and doesn't adjudicate to sound like them), Benoit doesn't seem to be i who's easily lED into playing rock & roll in favor of his down-home portmanteau word of swamp blues and east Texas guitar-driven blues. Talk to Tab at one of his shows, and he'll recount you around his desire to "appease the course," and not body of water down pat his blue devils by playing items that could be taken as "alternative" rock. Despite the screaming guitar licks he coaxes from his Telecaster and his powerful songwriting and singing abilities, Benoit's mellow, down-to-earth personality offstage is the exact opposite of his alive shows.
Benoit's releases include Skillful and Warm (1992), What I Live For (1994), Standing on the Bank (1995), and Live: Swampland Jam (1997), all recorded for Vanguard. Benoit then stirred over to the Telarc label for These Blues Are All Mine (1999), Whisky Store (2002, with Jimmy Thackery), Wetlands (2002), and The Sea Saint Sessions (2003). In 2004, Benoit released Whisky Store Live, recorded with Jimmy Thackery on the supporting tour for Whisky Store. 2005 saw the waiver of Fever for the Bayou on the Telarc label. 2005 likewise power saw Voice of the Wetlands come out on Rykodisc. Another record album from Telarc, Comrade to the Blues, appeared in 2006. Power of the Pontchartrain followed in 2007.
Considering that many of Benoit's records feature surpassed the 50,000 cross, he's good on his style to a career that could equal the kind of popularity the late Stevie Ray Vaughan enjoyed in the late '80s.
