In a statement released last night (Aug. 25), Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne admitted a role in the incident that marred Iron Maiden's Aug. 20 tour performance in Devore, Calif., specifically, that she cut off the band's sound on several occasions.

As previously reported, Maiden was also pelted with eggs and debris from the front of the pavilion during its performance (which was also its last of the tour). Sharon did not outright claim responsibility for that action but made reference to it in her statement.
