Ozzy Osbourne Almost Burns Down House Making Bacon Sandwich

The perils of the kitchen

More Ozzy Osbourne Ozzy Osbourne Profile

The Australian Black Sabbath shows were received pretty bloody well by fans of the classic metal outfit, but it appears Ozzy Osbourne's on-stage gifts don't quite extend to the kitchen.

According to NME the frontman injured himself after a fire broke out while he was making a bacon sandwich.

His wife Sharon Osbourse confirmed that their Californian house had been visited by the fire brigade.

“I'm in London, Ozzy is in LA making a bacon sandwich last night and the fire brigade ended up at our house!” she wrote.

Back in January Osbourne, who has spent time living away from wife Sharon recently, was injured after a candle exploded in a glass vase after being left alight overnight.
