Legendary BLACK SABBATH lead vocalist Ozzy Osbourne has reportedly said that he was “excited” by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
The rock star told Shortlist that being in New York on the day of the World Trade Center collapse was ‘his kind of craziness’.
“I wasn’t scared, I was excited,” he claimed. “It was my kind of craziness, y’know. The day after that happened, there was f**king nobody in New York.
“I remember standing on the steps of the hotel, and – you know when you see an old cowboy film and that tumbleweed rolls past on the ground? There was newspaper just floating around on the streets. It was so f**king weird.
“Everybody just backed off Manhattan because they didn’t know if it was an all-out thing or what. But I hope this Isis lot don’t get going. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s in mankind to try to kill each other for one thing or another.
“And I think sooner or later one of these crazy f**kers is going to get a nuclear weapon or some f**king thing, and f**k a lot of people up. That’s in our nature. I hope it won’t happen, but it looks like it could happen if they get it.”
Osbourne also spoke about meeting then-president George W Bush as a guest of honor at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, branding him a “c**t* and adding: “No-one would come near me because I was off me f**king nuts.”

***UPDATE: OZZY posted this message tonight on Facebook:
“Firstly, I never spoke to ‘The Mail Online.’ Several quotes were pulled from another interview I did for The Shortlist that was posted earlier in the day and were taken out of context to create ‘The Mail Online’ story [about 9-11]. I apologize to anyone who may see these quotes and believe this is actually how I feel. Please know that I would never want to offend or hurt anyone–that was never or would ever be my intention. You would think that at my age I would finally realize that any conversation with a journalist can be twisted, reprinted and made into another story. It’s another life lesson learned.
My representatives have asked ‘The Mail Online’ to pull the piece, but of course, they’ve refused and now it has been subsequently picked up worldwide because of the sensational slant ‘The Mail Online’ put on the story.
Love and peace to everyone. May your God go with you.”
