OZZY OSBOURNE 'Silenced' By Pre-BRIT AWARDS Fall

February 21, 2008

ThisIsNottingham.co.uk reports that Ozzy Osbourne's rather subdued appearance at the Brit Awards (the British equivalent of the Grammy Awards) last night (Wednesday, February 20) was apparently down to him taking a tumble before the show.

The veteran rocker, 59, hardly said a word during the two-hour bash that was televised live from Earls Court, while wife Sharon and their daughter Kelly seemed to hog the limelight, reports the Daily Star.

But an insider explained that Ozzy had fallen over twice before the glitzy event: "Ozzy gave himself a real fright. It was touch and go whether things would go ahead as planned. That's why he barely took part in the show."

The source added: "He was meant to be the highlight of the night, promising lots of swearing and bad behaviour. Instead, if you blinked, you missed him. It was like he wasn't there."

Instead Sharon did most of the raucous swearing, by telling drunken presenter Vic Reeves to "p*** off" when he forgot which award he was meant to be handing out.
