Paul McCartney and Ozzy Osbourne are supposedly set to perform together at the 2008 Brit Awards. If Michael and Paul were ‘Ebony and Ivory’ this pairing could be coined ‘Heaven and Hell’?
Performing with Sir Paul is Ozzy’s lifelong dream. Ozzy, is a self-confessed Beatles fan and has raved:
“McCartney’s a genius. The Beatles were the greatest band ever.
According to British newspaper The Sun, the pair will perform Paul’s classic Bond theme Live And Let Die. And if it does come off it will all be down to Ozzy’s music manager and wife Sharon.
Sharon, a judge on the X Factor UK tv show, used her influence and the couple’s gig as awards hosts at the Brit Awards to set up the once in a lifetime opportunity for her 59-year-old husband.
She said: “They go together really well. It will be amazing.”
Former Beatle Paul is to be presented with an Outstanding Contribution To Music award at the ceremony, being held at London’s Earls Court on February 20.
A show insider reckons the performance, as odd as it may seem, will go down as one of the most memorable in history.
“It was her idea for a duet between Ozzy and Sir Paul. If it happens, it will be unmissable.”
