Ozzy Osbourne clarifies comments about being 'excited' by 9/11

Ozzy Osbourne has moved to clarify comments he made about the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Black Sabbath singer recently gave an interview to ShortList and the Daily Mail website collated some of the quotes to create their own piece.

The Brit reportedly said: "I wasn’t scared, I was excited! It was my kind of craziness, you know. 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."

Osbourne has now issued a statement to state that his words for the Mail Online article were taken out of context:

"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 apologise 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 realise 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."
