Ozzy took how many driving tests?
05 October 2009
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has passed his driving test, it has been reported.
The Prince of Darkness got his license after taking his 19th test, according to The Sun newspaper.
He blamed alcohol as the reason why he took so long to pass.
Ozzy said: "I'd be walking around the test centre with a bottle of vodka in my pocket. They would see me and go, 'No, Mr Osbourne, I'm not getting in the car with you!'
"But for the first time in my life I'm legal to drive - so watch out."
The 60-year-old was left hospitalised after crashing a quad bike at his Buckinghamshire home in 2003. The bike was later auctioned off for charity along with Sharon Osbourne's Bentley Continental GT in 2007.
Ozzy speaks about his driving test tonight on BBC1's Graham Norton Show.
