LOS ANGELES -- Sharon Osbourne admits she's the one who cut the power to Iron Maiden's set during their last appearance at Ozzfest.
She wrote in an open letter to Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood that Iron Maiden singer Bruce Dickinson berated Ozzy Osbourne from the stage during at least 20 Ozzfest appearances, even though she and Ozzy were always kind to him.
Sharon Osbourne admitted that she cut the power during Iron Maiden's last Ozzfest appearance a week ago in San Bernardino, Calif.
"This is the way I look at it: Ozzfest is our tour," Sharon Osbourne said.
She also added that Dickinson "got what he deserved" and even signed the letter, "The 'Real' Iron Maiden, Sharon Osbourne."
Iron Maiden members were also pelted with eggs and beer during their set.
The group did not accuse Osbourne by name of coordinating the attack, but Smallwood said it's obvious who was behind it.
