Osbourne 'shocked' by Blair conversation

Ozzy Osbourne has revealed that he was surprised by the conversation he had with former Prime Minister Tony Blair when the pair first met, because all he wanted to talk about was music.

The Black Sabbath frontman met Blair, who was in band Ugly Rumours in the 1970s, a few years ago.

But Osbourne has claimed that when he was introduced to Blair, the politician admitted that he could never play his song 'Iron Man' correctly.

Osbourne said: "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)?"
