Korn on Sharon's criticism

Korn's Jonathan Davies brushes off Sharon Osbourne's earlier criticism of the band, while Sharon says she was unwell and did not mean it.

Heavy rockers Korn, on the line up for this year's Ozzfest, have been talking about Sharon Osbourne's criticism of the band in an interview with Rolling Stone last year, when she called them "has-beens" and "just too fucking gay from the word go".

Band frontman Jonathan Davies told reporters last week: "She started rumors about us, but that is just how she is. She is a shit talker and it doesn't bother me. I mean, with negative press, they are still talking about me, so I don't give a fuck. We are all in this thing together. We all want to do a good show, and I can look past that. Who cares?"

In her defense Sharon added: "I had cancer. I was sick and I didn't know what I was saying. Now that's a good sympathy card. Being a manager, it's not right to knock on the bands, and I did it because I am such a bitch and I did it because I don't like his manager."
