Tony Blair admits he couldn’t get Black Sabbath right on guitar

Ozzy Osbourne recalls former Prime Minister's musical woes

Tony Blair has admitted he could never master Black Sabbath on guitar.

The former Prime Minister, who was in a band at university called Ugly Rumours, confessed to frontman Ozzy Osbourne that he could never get the band’s track ‘Iron Man’ right.

“I met Tony Blair a couple of years ago, and he said to me, ‘I was in a band once, and I could never get the riff to ‘Iron Man’ right,'” recalled Osbourne. “I thought, ‘Why are you telling me about ‘Iron Man’ when there’s a war going on?'”
