Apart from governments, a few citizens fear indeed the bird flu, considering that trouble will stay away from them.
But rocker Ozzy Osbourne is one of the few who do take it seriously.
He thinks there are indeed chances of the virus spreading across Europe to the UK, and he joked that, if anybody is to catch the flu, it will be him: "Knowing my luck, a bird will c**p on me and I'll get bird flu on the way home."

The above were said during an interview for BBC Radio 2, where Ozzy has also mentioned that he doesn't smoke, drink or take drugs anymore.

But until now, the rocker has managed to stay out of trouble very well, as he had some time ago declared:
"The lifestyle I've been living for the last 30 years, I could have been dead a thousand times."

He is now 57 years old, and has five children, two from his first marriage (to Thelma Mayfair): Jessica (32), Louis (34), and three to his second wife Sharon, Aimee (22), Kelly (23) and Jack (24). He has also adopted his first wife's son, Eliot Kingsley (39).
His present wife, Sharon, which is just as mouth-free as her husband, was his manager until the two got together, and still is. His first wife's dad, Don Arden, had been his manager before Sharon.
