Whitney Houston Scared Ozzy Osbourne On Their First Meeting: Here's How

Meeting someone famous for the first time could make someone inhibited, dazed, and often starstruck. In the entertainment industry, even celebrities and musicians are no exception to these emotions.

Despite also being famous, some personalities feel like it is a huge honor to meet other revered icons for the first time.

Rock and metal legend Ozzy Osbourne felt the same thing when he met the late Whitney Houston back then at the season Finale of "Dancing Wih The Stars" Season 9.

In an episode of his Sirius XM "Ozzy Speaks," the 73-year-old musician recalled meeting Houston for the first time. On his recollection, Ozzy remembered himself as nervous when Houston came to approach him.

"She came down and I saw her when she was on the prime of her things. When that woman sang, it was like something out of a... it was like mind blowing," Ozzy remembered. "And she came and she looked tired, burnt out. She stopped in the middle of it, and I thought she was looking at me. She was. She walks towards me and I'm going... I'm trying to think... my brain's going, 'Have I met her? Have I ever insulted her?'"

Ozzy's mind at the time was racing a hundred miles an hour, recalling if he had ever met Houston before or has he ever said things to piss her off.

"She's gonna come over and tell me I'm a c-t. Did I say anything about her in an interview?" he further recalled.

But what startled Ozzy, even more was when Houston came right next to him and said only four words - "good to see you" - confusing the music icon even more.

Turns out, it was Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy's wife of 40 years, who she was heading to. Still, at a loss for words, Ozzy turned to his wife, telling her that he never knew she knew the "I Will Always Love You" hitmaker.

"You never asked!" Sharon replied before Ozzy told her that he should have been informed beforehand.

Ozzy Osbourne is perhaps one of the most notable figures in the rock and metal industry. Not only was he a television star, but Ozzy is one of the best-selling musicians in the world, with combined sales of 100 million albums sold worldwide from his solo music career and as the vocalist of Black Sabbath.
