She calls Bruce Dickinson’s songs ‘shit’

Sharon Osbourne has reignited her feud with Iron Maiden, branding singer Bruce Dickinson’s solo material "shit".

The metal band were sensationally booed and egged off stage during the summer’s Ozzfest, leading Dickinson to accuse Osbourne of deliberately sabotaging their set.

He also claimed that Ozzy Osbourne’s wife has organised the protest and switched off the PA.

In an interview with Attitude magazine, Osbourne has dealt another blow in the war of words, saying: “The band are actually really nice guys, but the singer has a chip on his shoulder."

She added: “The bottom line is it's not my fault that his solo records are shit. Don't be jealous of what Ozzy does. He never once thanked us for the tour. People don't behave like that. I tell you, though. This guy got the singer with a fucking egg right in the middle of his brow — what a star!"
