Veteran rocker Ozzy Osbourne had some salient advice for Canberra's heavy metal kid Callum McPhie when they met recently before a Black Sabbath concert in Sydney, reports The Canberra Times.
"He told me not to drink alcohol and not to do drugs," 11-year-old Callum said.
The year seven student and his family were still on a - natural - high this week after meeting Ozzy and Black Sabbath guitarists, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, ahead of an historic Black Sabbath concert in Sydney. They also attended a sound check before the concert and sat in premium seats for the show at Sydney Olympic Park on April 23rd. The concert was part of Black Sabbath's farewell The End tour, the band unlikely to play Down Under again.
The VIP treatment was organized by Ozzy's daughter Kelly Osbourne, a judge on Australia's Got Talent, where Callum found fame - and earned a grand final berth - for his out-of-this-world heavy metal guitar performances. Among his showstoppers was a rendition of the Ozzy classic “Crazy Train”.
