Ozzy Osbourne has won the court case against a newspaper which was saying that a recent Brit Awards ceremony was almost cancelled because of his health problems, notes Sky News.
An article called ‘Ozzy Freak Show’ was published by the British tabloid Daily Star in February (2008) soon after Ozzy together with his wife Sharon and his two children took part in mentioned above ceremony as a presenter.
This article said that right before the show Osbourne fell twice and organizers were looking forward to hospitalize him without allowing his participation.
Besides that, Daily Star wrote that Ozzy was moving on a wheelchair, asking managers to find him a good seat, so when he gets tired during the ceremony he may take some rest.
Ozzy’s suit against a publishing company Express Newspapers was tried by the High Court of England and Wales in London. Following the results of this case trial Daily Star was forced to admit that their material about Ozzy was ‘totally false’, and a newspaper’s lawyer Kate Wilson brought some excuses to a musician.
A sum of indemnity that will be payed by Express Newspapers will go to the charity organization led by Sharon Osbourne – Colon Cancer Program. Also, Express Newspapers should cover Ozzy’s court expanses.
