I think Sharon is completely out of line. No matter how big a prick Bruce may be, the public ranting by her is just not right, IMO.

Sharon Osbourne admits role in Iron Maiden flap
By Ray Waddell Fri Aug 26,11:44 PM ET

NASHVILLE (Billboard) - In a statement released Thursday night, Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne admitted a role in the incident that marred Iron Maiden's August 20 tour performance in Devore, Calif. -- specifically, that she cut off the band's sound on several occasions.

Iron Maiden also was pelted with eggs and debris from the front of the pavilion during its performance, which was its last on the festival's tour. Osbourne did not take responsibility for those actions.

She previously claimed that Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson repeatedly disrespected her husband Ozzy during the tour, and that other Iron Maiden members were ashamed of Dickinson's behavior.

In her new statement, which doubles as an open letter to Maiden manager Rod Smallwood, she said, "For 20 shows we were forced to hear Dickinson's nightly outbursts from the stage: 'When we come back to America, we'll be back with a proper sound system' or 'We won't be playing the same old songs every night (like (Black) Sabbath),' 'We don't need a teleprompter (like Ozzy)' and 'We don't need a reality show to be legit (again, like Ozzy)."'

Sharon Osbourne explained cutting Maiden's power in part by saying, "Was Dickinson so naive to think that I was going to let him get away with talking s**t about my family night after night? I don't think he realizes who he's dealing with." She signed the letter as the "real Iron Maiden."

Earlier this week, Smallwood said he had "never seen anything anywhere near as disgusting and unprofessional as what went on that night."

At 52-years-old, ex-reality TV star and rock wifey Sharon Osbourne is still battling bulimia the same way Liza Minelli is still battling gay husbands

entertainment at its best. I wonder if they dream up this crap just for good press. Ozzy peeing on the Alamo comes to mind.

I met Ozzy and Randy Rhodes when I was 15 at a record store in Syracuse. Got an autograph from Ozzy and a kiss from Randy. Saw Blizzard of Ozz twice, then Randy dies a year later.

I never paid much attention to Iron Maiden back then. Was much more into Judas Priest, Metallica and Megadeth.
