Headline:

Paranoia interview with Ozzy

Synopsis:

EVEN by the legendary standards of the indestructible KEITH RICHARDS, OZZY OSBOURNE remains one of rock’s most outrageous hellraisers.

“I’ve been p***ed out of my face, chased people with a shotgun, driven f***ing Range Rovers over viaducts and come out without a scratch,” Ozzy says with a wide, white grin. (My, these Los Angeles dentists are good.)

But Ozzy is still smarting over the quad-bike accident that nearly killed him 5½ years ago and believes his demise will come in an equally freakish fashion.

He says: “I was going 3mph, went over an embankment and the next minute I was coming out of a f***ing coma — 3mph and it nearly f***ing killed me!

“You know the way I’ll go? Some bird with some rare virus is going to fly over my head. It’s going to s*** on me and I’m going to melt on the floor.”

I am meeting Ozzy to celebrate his part in arguably the most influential heavy metal album of all time, BLACK SABBATH’s newly reissued Paranoid, first released in 1970 with his demonic howl set to towering riffs and dark, scary lyrics.
