Sharon Osbourne Goes On Twitter Rant Against U2
Published at
James White/CBS(NEW YORK) — Sharon Osbourne is clearly not a U2 fan. The 61-year-old co-host of The Talk and wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne took to Twitter to voice her opinion of the Irish rock band on Monday.
In the wake of U2’s partnership with Apple to release its new album Songs of Innocence for free, Osbourne tweeted, “U2 you are business moguls not musicians anymore. No wonder you have to give your mediocre music away for free cause no one wants to buy it.”
Sharon — who manages Ozzy and created Ozzfest — questioned, “Guys nothing is for free, how much you making?” She added, “PS, btw you are just a bunch of middle age political groupies…”
Sharon continued, “Whose political ass are we going to pull you out of today? Or are you front row at another tragic fashion show?…Jimmy Iovine, iTunes, U2, you’re a bunch of megalomaniacs. F*** YOU!”
Later Monday night, Sharon tweeted a link to her followers to remove the band’s album from their iTunes accounts. She wrote, “Here’s how to say NO to @U2’s new record that was forced upon you by @iTunes – #NoThankU2.”
