The Osbournes have landed; Ozzfest couple dismiss boycott
Heavy Metal god Ozzy Osbourne touched down in Israel on Sunday, ahead of Tuesday@@@s "OzzFest" concert in Tel Aviv@@@s Hayarkon Park. Later on Sunday, he held a press conference in Tel Aviv@@@s Sheraton Hotel that left fans and reporters in stitches. When asked why he hadn@@@t come to Israel earlier, Osbourne said "no reason really, I mean, I was drunk for too many years." Ozzy also dismissed any talk of artistic boycotts of Israel, saying "I have no time for politics, they [politicians] don@@@t understand me and I don@@@t understand them."Osbourne@@@s wife Sharon drew a parallel to "the troubles" in Northern Ireland that plagued England in past decades, saying "it@@@s the same as when we had all the problems with the IRA and no one refused to perform in England, so I don@@@t know why people don@@@t come here."If you@@@re going to Tuesday@@@s concert, which Ozzy said would be heavy on the Black Sabbath classics, follow the advice of Ozzy@@@s wife Sharon, who said concert attendees should "just go Meshuganeh."ByREUTERS06/08/2025 07:57 AMByREUTERS06/08/2025 05:36 AMByMAARIV06/07/2025 02:33 PMByWALLA!06/07/2025 11:18 AMByREUTERS06/07/2025 03:25 AM
