Heavy metal fans are not usually seen making bids at a high-end auctions, but they turned out in numbers to snatch up a coat with embroidered bats, sneakers with skulls on them and other items put up for sale by Ozzy Osbourne.

"We had Ozzy fans bidding against these sophisticated fine art buyers, which you don't see every day," said Darren Julien, whose company, Julien's Auctions, ran the charity sale. "For the most part the metalheads were outbidding the art crowd."

The auction brought in £400,000 for The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program.

Thats awsome, I'd like to know what happened to the headless bat that he'd bitten off. Now that would be something to bid for. " poor lil bat"

Stupid hipsters.

You'd think the art world of all would see how valueless these items are.

Awww...when i saw the thread title. i was picturing mouthwatering ozzy chops, steaks and sausages. Maybe i need to get some lunch.

I wonder if his integrity was also up for sale?

Oh, wait. That was sold out a long time ago.

"For the most part the metalheads were outbidding the art crowd."

Not counting for taste but anything related to Ozzy is gold in someone's eye!
