OZZY OSBOURNE: Lawsuit Rumors Dismissed!

November 4, 2003

A spokesperson for Sharon Osbourne Management has dismissed widespread reports of yet another OZZY OSBOURNE lawsuit currently being fought.

In a recent television appearance, Ozzy talked about the lawsuit-happy climate in the U.S., saying "We have a lawsuit going at the moment, we did a live recording of a show, and someone in the audience is suing me for using their voices on my record. Someone has to do something about these frivolous civil actions — it's a waste of time and a waste of money."

When contacted by BLABBERMOUTH.NET for a comment on the supposed lawsuit, the spokesperson stated flatly, "There is no other lawsuit. This was a joke."

Last week, a Federal Appeals Court unanimously upheld the dismissal of the lawsuit brought by former OZZY OSBOURNE musicians Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake. The lawsuit, filed against Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne in 1998, had sought royalties and credits on Ozzy's classic studio albums "Blizzard of Oz" and "Diary of a Madman". The lawsuit was dismissed last year by the United States District Court in Los Angeles, and last week the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit upheld the dismissal, ruling that Ozzy does not owe any royalties or credit to the former bandmembers, who were let go in 1981.
