Ozzy Used to Piss Himself on Stage Because He “Was Wet Anyway”

If you know anything about Ozzy‘s show, it’s that he’s been known to get a little wet from time to time. There’s a part of the show where he throws buckets of water out onto the crowd. It’s a good time and during the right circumstances, it’s gotta be a relief during particularly hot shows. But during a recent episode of The Osbournes podcast, Ozzy admitted to finding the water relieving for another reason entirely — it used to mask instances where he’d willingly piss himself on stage.

Now, we’re not talking about an Ozzy who’s too old to hold it in or an Ozzy that relies on adult diapers to get through the day. We’re talking about an Ozzy that’s consciously making the decision to drain the lizard in his pants in front of thousands of people because, as he put it, “I was wet anyway.”

The topic came up as the family were discussing the potential incontinence issues the late Queen Victoria might have had and why that would make the sale of a pair of her underwear in auction so gross. Then, following a pretty quippy remark about the royal, he let his little on-stage loo usage rip.

“She was an old girl, she was probably incontinent. She owned continents, but she was incontinent…

“When I was onstage, I used to go, ‘Oh, fuck it,’ and just piss, ’cause I was wet anyway from throwing water around.”

So there ya go. Between the high-pressure water guns and buckets of water getting thrown around on stage, Ozzy used that as a watery smoke screen for his pee-soaked pants.
