Osbourne surprised by Blair's Black Sabbath confession
28/09/2007 - 10:13:38Ozzy Osbourne was left amazed when he first met Tony Blair - because the-then British Prime Minister revealed he could never master the guitar riff to Black Sabbath anthem 'Iron Man'.
The veteran rocker was surprised when Blair, who formed a band called Ugly Rumours in the mid-1970s, confessed all about his inability to play the classic.
Osbourne says: "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.'
"I thought, 'Why are you telling me about Iron Man when there's a war going on (in Iraq)?"
