Top liberal politician quickly edits tribute to Ozzy Osbourne after making VERY embarrassing mistake
A top Democrat quickly had to edit his embarrassing mistake after assuming late musician Ozzy Osbourne was American. Former Democratic presidential candidate, Andrew Yang, 50, took to X to honor Osbourne, who died on Tuesday at the age of 76. Only the lobbyist and founder of the Forward Party mistook the Black Sabbath frontman as an American. Osbourne was born in Marston Green, England in 1948. 'RIP Ozzy Osbourne, a true American original,' Yang wrote on Tuesday at 4:38pm. A minute later, he realized his mistake, changing it to: 'RIP Ozzy Osbourne, a true original and pioneer.' Despite the fast edit, his fans and critics were quick to notice the mistake, with many reiterating to Yang: 'He was British, Andrew.' 'He was British,' another chimed in. Others poked fun at the businessman, sarcastically telling him that he made a 'smooth edit' and that his edit history was still visible to the public. 'We saw the original, bro!' one wrote on the platform. 'Dude, your edit history,' another said. 'It's wild you just left it there instead of deleting and reposting. Did you even know who he was before today?' A third wrote: 'You know that delete and repost is available for the same price, right?' Yang ignored the criticism and made additional posts about the housing crisis and the future of politics on his page. Daily Mail has contacted Yang for comment. Osbourne's family confirmed his death in a statement on Tuesday evening, writing: 'It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. 'He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.' The rocker was able to bid an emotional farewell to his fans on stage this month as he reunited with his original Black Sabbath bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward for the first time since 2005 while performing at Villa Park in Birmingham. 'You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart,' Osbourne told the crowd in his final speech. The music legend vowed, however, that it would be his final ever performance due to his health, having opened up about his battle with Parkinson's in 2020. The star was a titan of music who somehow survived controversies that would end the careers of many others, and weathered health problems that would leave most on their backs. Whether it was biting the head off both a bat and a dove, snorting a line of ants or urinating on a US war memorial while wearing one of his wife Sharon's dresses, Osbourne was defined by his controversial antics both on and off stage. The singer, who sold more than 100million records, will forever be synonymous with the heavy metal band he formed in his home city of Birmingham in 1969. With hits that included Iron Man, War Pigs and Paranoid, Black Sabbath's pushing of occult themes proved both hugely popular and controversial, with a future pope even condemning Osbourne for his 'subliminal satanic influence.'
