And this time it's not because of his "singing," a cancelled show, 70 minute setlist or lack of Ultimate Sin material in the setlist.
It's also worth it to click for the reader comments:

OZZY OSBOURNE Fan Disappointed He Couldn't Deliver Gift - Oct. 24, 2007
Renato Gandia of the Canada's Sun Media reports: An Ozzy Osbourne superfan drove back to Peace River yesterday with a heavy heart after he failed Monday night to give the rocker a specially designed canoe paddle he spent many hours making.
Patrick Lesko, a 34-year-old veteran woodworker, said he's still a fan and he might try again when Ozzy goes to Toronto in January.
"I'm not gonna say, 'What a jerk,' " said Lesko while he took a rest in Fox Creek from driving to Peace River, 484 km northwest of Edmonton. "I don't know what really happened.
"Do I still love BLACK SABBATH more than anything? Hell, yeah. Honestly as much as I love Ozzy, I love BLACK SABBATH."
Lesko said he was able to bring the paddle to the coat check at Rexall Place, but that's as far as it got.
"I was hoping that I would be able to get to the meet-and-greet, but I didn't realize that's before the show, not after."
He went to Rexall Place at 3 p.m. on Monday to try to give Ozzy the paddle.
"I was disappointed. It was a huge investment of time and energy that went into making the paddle."
Lesko said he couldn't snap up a $1,000 backstage package for the show before they sold out and his calls to Ozzy's tour management company in California went unreturned. He paid $750 for a front-row seat to the concert.
If he can't give it to Ozzy in Toronto, Lesko's not sure what to do with the otter tail-style paddle carved out of solid Canadian black cherry.
It took Lesko 25 hours to make it and is worth an estimated $500.

I had this same problem with Keith during Steel Wheels. I spent 200 hours and god knows how much money on blow, making a replica of great buildings and structures out of toothpicks... When The Stones played in AC, I tried to bring my gift to Keith and was turned away...

“I can honestly say, all the bad things that ever happened to me were directly, directly attributed to drugs and alcohol. I mean, I would never urinate at the Alamo at nine o'clock in the morning dressed in a woman's evening dress sober.”

Some people are total fucking idiots. Hope this moron makes the canoe to also give Ozzy in Toronto.
Ozzy tours Oz in the couple of months. I might go and get me a kangaroo and see if i can sneak it in.
Or maybe a stingray? |
