Ozzie Osbourne Issues Statement on Daily Mail's 'Twisted' 9/11 Story About Him

An article printed in yesterday's Daily Mail reported that Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne's called the horrific events of September 11th, 'my kind of craziness'. The musician was in New York City on the day that two hijacked planes tore into the World Trade Center's twin towers, bringing both buildings down and killing over 2,700 people.

The Mail claims that In a new interview, the 65-year-old described the scene as, 'f***** weird.' and when quedtioned by Shortlist magazine if he was afraid, he replied, 'I wasn't scared, I was excited! It was my kind of craziness, y'know.'

Following the story, Osbourne issued the following statement on his official Facebook page, claiming that he was misquoted and misrepresented in the story:

"Firstly, I never spoke to 'The Mail Online.' Several quotes were pulled from another interview I did for The Shortlist that was posted earlier in the day and were taken out of context to create 'The Mail Online' story [about 9-11]. I apologize to anyone who may see these quotes and believe this is actually how I feel. Please know that I would never want to offend or hurt anyone--that was never or would ever be my intention. You would think that at my age I would finally realize that any conversation with a journalist can be twisted, reprinted and made into another story. It's another life lesson learned.

My representatives have asked 'The Mail Online' to pull the piece, but of course, they've refused and now it has been subsequently picked up worldwide because of the sensational slant 'The Mail Online' put on the story.

Love and peace to everyone. May your God go with you."
