Ozzy Osbourne claims he could survive WW3 nuke blast on his house: ‘Imagine if I crawled out with half a body’
After a 50-year career and years of legendary debauchery, Ozzy Osbourne has declared he thinks he could survive a World World Three nuclear blast on his house.
Ozzy Osbourne thinks he could survive a World World Three nuclear blast on his house.
The rock survivor – whose years of debauchery included snorting a line of ants – is due to turn 75 on 3 December, and he says if another global conflict broke out he’d invite his enemy to target his house to see if he could was tough enough to endure a blast.
He told Rolling Stone magazine: “If World War Three ever happens, and they start using the big (bombs), I’m going to put a big target on my roof!
“I wanna be right under the thing! I’ll just say… ‘I bet you can’t hit our house’. “Even if they’ve got a 50-megaton bomb! Imagine if I crawled from the debris with half a body, shouting, ‘I’M STILL HERE!’”
Ozzy chatted to the magazine to mark being given the Icon Award at the first Rolling Stone UK Awards on Thursday. (23.11.23)
The Black Sabbath veteran admitted about being given the trophy: “I wish I felt like a icon! I’ve had a long career, and I’ve raised a few eyebrows along the way.
“I’ve met some amazing people. I’ve done some good gigs, and I’ve done some bad gigs.”
Ozzy is set to retire as he continues to battle a rare – but mild – form of Parkinson’s.
But he said it is surgeries following a fall in 2019 that have resulted in his biggest health fights.
An accident dislodged metal rods which had been inserted into his back after a quad bike accident at his home in Buckinghamshire in 2003 and earlier this year, the rocker underwent spinal surgery for a fourth time in a bid to repair another operation – where a tumour was also discovered.
