Maiden manager blasts Ozzfest and alleges sabotage

Iron Maiden's manager has blasted Sharon Osbourne and the organisers of the Ozzfest for allegedly sparking the near riot that ruined the British rockers' final night on the tour.

The group was pelted with debris onstage in San Bernardino, California on Sunday, while Osbourne followed the band's departure from the tour on Monday by blasting frontman Bruce Dickinson for "berating" her husband, headliner Ozzy Osbourne, and "belittling" the Ozzfest audience from the stage.
