OZZY OSBOURNE Pulls Out Of Fundraising Event

October 14, 2003

OZZY OSBOURNE bailed out of his planned collaboration with Julien Macdonald at London's Royal Albert Hall for Fashion Rocks for The Prince's Trust, citing other commitments in America. However, the former BLACK SABBATH singer made nice by donating $50,000 (£30,000) to the fund, which has helped nearly half-a-million young people since it was set up by the Prince of Wales in 1976.

A Prince's Trust insider told Mirror.co.uk, "We couldn't believe it when we opened the envelope. As well as writing a 50,000-dollar cheque, he'd also sent a lovely, heartfelt letter.

"He was full of apologies and offered to help in any way he can in the future. We're absolutely flabbergasted, it's so generous."

Fashion Rocks for The Prince's Trust, which is described as one of the most exciting and revolutionary fundraising events ever, is set to be held on Wednesday, October 15.

OZZY's rescheduled European tour will kick off on October 22 in Dublin, Ireland. Also appearing on the bill are Finnish goth-metallers H.I.M.
