Ozzy Osbourne recalled during an episode of his podcast, The Osbournes, what his first meeting with Paul McCartney . "I'm a huge Beatles , and when I met Paul McCartney for the first time, it was like meeting Jesus Christ," the musician said.
“He was very kind. And when I won a Grammy, he reached out to my producer to congratulate me. That was very, very special,” Ozzy added.
It's nothing new for the Prince of Darkness to declare his love for the Beatles. In a 2022 interview with Rolling Stone , Ozzy explained how the band is part of what he listens to daily. The song "Patient Number 9" from his solo album is a conceptual homage to the song from Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band .
In another interview with Classic Rock , he recounted what it was like to hear the Beatles for the first time: “That song changed my life. “She Loves You” had a huge impact on me. I remember exactly where I was. I was walking down Witton Road in Aston, I had a blue transistor radio and when that song started, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. It was so new and gave me a great feeling. That's when I became an avid Beatles fan – they were magnificent,” the musician declared.
Sharon's meeting with Elizabeth Taylor and Robin Williams
Sharon Osbourne also mentioned on the podcast that it was Elizabeth Taylor who left her in awe when she first met her. "She was simply incredible to me. I wasn't disappointed." But Ozzy interrupted her to remind her of when Robin Williams visited her.
The encounter happened while Sharon was undergoing cancer treatment. She recounted: “I was absolutely amazed by his talent and kindness. He came in, got into bed with me, and told me jokes for a few hours.” “It wasn’t like he just stuck his head in the door and said, ‘Hi, how are you?’ and left. No. He stayed a good two hours with me and was just amazing. He made me feel so good. Yes, an incredible guy.”
