Ozzy Osbourne on 9/11 terrorist attacks: "I was excited"

Ozzy Osbourne has said that he was "excited" by the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The Black Sabbath star told Shortlist that being in New York on the day of the World Trade Center collapse was 'his kind of craziness'.

"I wasn't scared, I was excited," he claimed. "It was my kind of craziness, y'know. The day after that happened, there was f**king nobody in New York. 

"I remember standing on the steps of the hotel, and - you know when you see an old cowboy film and that tumbleweed rolls past on the ground? There was newspaper just floating around on the streets. It was so f**king weird. 

"Everybody just backed off Manhattan because they didn't know if it was an all-out thing or what. But I hope this Isis lot don't get going. I've come to the conclusion that it's in mankind to try to kill each other for one thing or another.

"And I think sooner or later one of these crazy f**kers is going to get a nuclear weapon or some f**king thing, and f**k a lot of people up. That's in our nature. I hope it won't happen, but it looks like it could happen if they get it."

Osbourne also spoke about meeting then-president George W Bush as a guest of honor at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, branding him a "c**t* and adding: "No-one would come near me because I was off me f**king nuts."
