OZZY OSBOURNE To Perform With Opera Singer At ROYAL VARIETY Show?

November 14, 2005

Rachel Mainwaring of icWales is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne could be paired with clean-cut opera star Katherine Jenkins at next week's Royal Variety Performance.

The 25-year-old Jenkins will perform a spectacular duet at this year's event — and the producer hinted last night that the singer will be seen as she's never been seen before.

Although details remain top secret, icWales has revealed the air will definitely turn blue when Jenkins appears on stage at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff next Monday.

That's because the blonde singer will be wearing a dress made purely of electric blue lights as she performs alongside one of the world's biggest stars.

Producer James Sunderland said: "Katherine is going to be teaming up with another artist to do a very spectacular performance.

"I'm not telling you who she'll be working with, but it's totally the other end of the spectrum to what fans are used to.

"She will be wearing a stunning dress made purely from electric blue lights and her performance will be very different for her."

BLACK SABBATH's fast-living frontman Ozzy — infamous for biting the head off a bat live on stage — makes his Royal Variety Performance debut at this year's show — the first to be held in Wales in its 77-year history.

Katherine, who this week became the first classical artist to achieve three consecutive No. 1 albums as she topped the charts with "Living A Dream", says she can't wait to take part.

She said: "I've been watching the Royal Variety Show since I was a little girl and to find myself on this year's show is an absolute dream come true.

"I've only ever seen Ozzy on 'The Osbournes' but once you get past the barrage of expletives, he always comes across as such a nice sympathetic, well... family guy and I'm really looking forward to meeting him and all the others performing on the night.

"I've just got myself a puppy called Mister. He's a miniature Jack Russell. Sharon's a dog person isn't she? So maybe I could swap doggie notes with her backstage. That would be fun!"
