It was October 18, 2001 when Ozzy Osbourne met Paul McCartney for the first time backstage at The Howard Stern Show.
Ozzy later recalled the moment during The Osbournes Podcast (2024), where he said:
"I'm a big Beatles fan and when I first met Paul MCCartney, it was like meeting Jesus Christ. And he was a very nice man."
Ozzy once asked Paul to play bass on one of his songs, but Paul declined, saying he couldn't improve the existing bassline.
Ozzy joked, "Are you kidding? You could piss on the record and I'd make it my life!"
