Iron Maiden also experienced sound problems in the set, during which a man wearing a T-shirt proclaiming ’Don’t f*** with Ozzy’ jumped on stage. Sharon was reportedly furious after Dickinson criticised their reality show, ’The Osbournes’, and claimed Ozzy used a Teleprompter on stage in an interview with Kerrang! magazine. After Iron Maiden’s performance, she took to the stage and branded Dickinson a "pr*ck". However, she denies any involvement in the pelting incident or technical problems. Iron Maiden manager Ron Smallwood has condemned the attack on the band’s official website. He fumed: "In 30 years in this business and after hundreds of gigs I have never seen anything anywhere near as disgusting and unprofessional as what went on that night.

"The scale, viciousness and concentration of the throwing made it obvious that this was a premeditated and coordinated attack. Assaulting musicians while performing by throwing bottle tops, lighters and eggs at them from just a few yards away is vile, dangerous, criminal and cowardly."
