Ozzy Slams Tabloid For 9/11 Celebration Misquote

(TeamRock Radio) Ozzy Osbourne has slammed the Daily Mail for taking his quotes about the 9/11 atrocity out of context. The Black Sabbath frontman is furious that the notorious tabloid made him sound disrespectful to the victims of the New York terrorist attack in 2001, which took place while he was in the city.

The Mail reported him as saying: "I wasn't scared, I was excited - it was my kind of craziness." But in the Shortlist interview where the quote originally appeared, it's seen to refer to his feelings the day after the tragedy as he felt like he was alone in the city.

Ozzy says in a statement: "Firstly, I never spoke to 'The Mail Online.' Several quotes were pulled from another interview I did for The Shortlist that was posted earlier in the day and were taken out of context to create 'The Mail Online' story [about 9-11]. I apologize to anyone who may see these quotes and believe this is actually how I feel.

"Please know that I would never want to offend or hurt anyone--that was never or would ever be my intention. You would think that at my age I would finally realize that any conversation with a journalist can be twisted, reprinted and made into another story. It's another life lesson learned."
