OZZY OSBOURNE Demands Expensive Drinks

ContactMusic.com is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne's tastes have proved to be pricey for bosses of his Ozzfest 2005 tour — because he guzzles close to $2,000 worth of fizzy drinks alone on the road.

As the BLACK SABBATH frontman prepares to take a host of bands on road with him for the summer-long trek — which begins next month in Massachusetts — organizers are scurrying to get Osbourne's specific tastes catered for.

Tour manager Dave Moscato says, "He drinks English Orangina Light. Each bottle runs at $4. Over the course of the tour, at a six-pack a day, that's almost $2,000 in Ozzy's soda alone."
