02 THE OSBOURNES

OZZY and Sharon Osbourne have long been supporters of our Armed Forces and have quietly undertaken several visits to Selly Oak and Headley Court. Their first visit together to Selly Oak caused quite a stir, especially with Ozzy being a local boy. The couple were literally mobbed as they walked through the corridors of the hospital.
“It took 25 minutes to move them 20 metres – and they hadn’t even reached the military ward yet,” said Avlianos.
“Sharon and Ozzy were both compassionate and engaging with everyone they met.
“They took time out to speak to everyone who wanted to meet them and were visibly moved by the stories they heard. It was one of those really special moments when you just know it has meant so much to all concerned.”
Ozzy is apparently mad keen to get to Afghanistan in person, but that might be quite a risk-assessment form…
