OZZY OSBOURNE Recalls Former Prime Minister's Musical Woes

September 27, 2007

NME.com reports that former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has admitted he could never master BLACK SABBATH on guitar.

Blair, 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?'"

Osbourne made the comments while DJing for Radio 1 as part of the station's 40th birthday celebrations. His show airs tonight (September 27) at 9:00 p.m.
