Osbourne's $200,000 Hotel Bill
Ozzy Osbourne was left with a $200,000 (GBP100,000) bill - after deliberately igniting powerful fireworks inside an American hotel.
The veteran rocker was discovered letting off the celebratory flares by Black Sabbath bandmate Tommy Iommi after purchasing an entire shop-worth of stock earlier that day.
Iommi says, "That night we were all woken by a huge bang and a whoosh! Smoke started seeping under my door so I opened it and saw Ozzy just going crazy. He was letting all the fireworks off in the corridor.
"Alarms were going and the next thing I knew the police had surrounded him with guns. He was arrested and taken away. The eventual bill was more than $200,000."
