"Smell this! It smells like my childhood!" Bombsites, buttocks, and two encounters with Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne poses with his wife Sharon, daughter Kelly and son Jack during the ceremony honouring him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame April 12, 2002 in Hollywood, CA.

The first and last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne’s private parts was at the Townsend Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan, in July 1998. A magazine had flown me and photographer Hugo Dixon to meet Ozzy on his day off from the Ozzfest tour.

The interview involved him answering readers’ questions, which we’d printed out as props for the photo shoot. Knowing Ozzy was a huge Beatles fan, we’d shown his people an example of the same interview with Ringo Starr.
