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.
