SHARON Osbourne does not like Bruce Dickinson, OK?
It was kinda sad that the only band that can stand alongside Black Sabbath in terms of British heavy metal greatness – with due respect to Judas Priest – was not part of Bsck To The Beginning and didn’t even get a mention from the stage.
During a recent livestream, Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager was asked by a band if she had forgiven Dickinson for a beef that goes back to Ozzfest in 2005, when she believes the Iron Maiden singer was disrespectful towards Ozzy from the stage.
“Oh, has he forgiven himself?” was her response.
Sharon in 2005 instructed nurses who were attending the show to throw vegetables at Dickinson. She alleges Dickinson had been badmouthing Ozzy between songs – but there appears to be no record of exactly what he said.
Explaining herself to Billboard, Sharon said: “It was just the singer. The other guys in the band are great, great people. No problem at all. But when you’ve got a singer that is so eaten up with jealousy for the headliner, it never goes well.
“I had been having cancer treatments, and all the nurses that I had met over my year in chemo came to the show and they said, ‘Can we do anything for you?’ And I’m, like, ‘Yes, you can.’ I loaded them up with cans of bean soup, vegetables, eggs, and I said, ‘Pelt the singer.’ And that’s what they did. It was, like, ‘You wanna talk? You think you’re clever? Well, watch this — you’re gonna get covered in tomato soup in L.A.
“I just thought, ‘You’re taking the money to be on this tour, and you’re disrespecting the namesake of the tour. You’re disrespecting him by knocking him every night to the fans.’ I don’t like that. It’s not in the spirit of what we do.”
