Washington, Mar 20 : Brit singer Ozzy Osbourne’s son Jack has returned to the rehab centre where he kicked his addiction to painkillers, but this time to film a new news special.

Jack Osbourne, 23, revisited Visions Adolescent Treatment Centre in Malibu, California, with cameramen from U. S. show Access Hollywood to tape a segment about his recovery.

He admitted that before he checked into the centre, he was full of “pain and sadness” and “suicidal thoughts”, and when he could not cope with his mum Sharon being diagnosed with colon cancer in 2002, he knew he had a serious problem.

“When things were getting bad it was when my mum was really sick with cancer... It was chaos,” Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

He insisted that the rehab centre, where he spent almost 50 days, was just like home for him.

“It''s kinda homely... You don''t feel like you''re in some sterile hospital,” he said.

“You spent very little time in your bedrooms,” he added.

He admits that he still longs for “a beer” when he''s out with friends, but has never slipped up because he doesn''t want to slide back into bad habits. (ANI)
