Macca & Ozzy duet at the Brits
OZZY OSBOURNE is to fulfil a lifelong dream at the Brit Awards — by performing with his hero SIR PAUL McCARTNEY.
Brits bosses are thrashing out the final details for The Prince Of Darkness to join Macca for an explosive finale.
Aptly for Ozzy, after his well documented booze and drugs battles, they will perform Paul’s classic Bond theme Live And Let Die. And if it does come off it will all be down to Ozzy’s wife SHARON.
The X Factor judge has used her influence — and the couple’s gig as awards hosts — to set up the once in a lifetime opportunity for her hubby.
She said: “They go together really well. It will be amazing.”
Sir Paul will also be presented with an Outstanding Contribution To Music gong at the bash, being held at London’s Earls Court on February 20.
A show source reckons the performance will go down as one the most memorable in its history.
He told me: “Sharon is a very determined woman and wants it to be the best Brits ever. She’s been in touch with lots of the legendary music business names she knows personally.
“It was her idea for a duet between Ozzy and Sir Paul. If it happens, it will be unmissable.”
The Brits is renowned for its duets. The most memorable in recent times came in 2003 when JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE sang with KYLIE, grabbing the pint-sized Aussie’s rear during the performance.
But king of the duets is JAMIROQUAI star JAY KAY. In 1997 he teamed up with soul legend DIANA ROSS to perform her hit Upside Down. And in 2005 he did DONNA SUMMER’s Bad Girls with ANASTACIA.

Ozzy is a self-confessed mop-top fan and has long been a champion of Paul’s. He has said: “McCartney’s a genius. THE BEATLES were the greatest band ever.
“The only problem I have with him is even God has a p***ed off day.
“No one can be that happy all the time. Even Mr Happy gets a sore ass sometimes.”
Ozzy voted Paul’s latest album Memory Almost Full as his favourite of 2007 in a web survey.
And he’s even admitted having rather sinister fantasies about the Scouser. He said: “I used to dream, ‘Wouldn’t it be great if Paul McCartney married my sister?’. My bedroom wall was covered in pictures of him.”
If Sharon gets her way, there will be plenty more photos for Ozzy to hang up.

Paul McCartney's Plea To Save The Planet
Paul McCartney has followed in the footsteps of his estranged wife Heather Mills by urging the world to go vegetarian. The Beatles legend has launched a campaign to eradicate meat-eaters through British newspaper the Sunday Times.
McCartney cited a United Nations report which claimed the biggest things any individual can do for the plant is to become a vegetarian. He says, "What's compelling is this report should now encourage everyone to do their bit."
Last month, Mills urged U.K residents to drink rat's milk after claiming 80 per cent of global warming comes from livestock.
Paul McCartney's Beatles secret
Stella McCartney didn't know her father was a Beatle when she was a child.
Sir Paul McCartney - who raised his children, Mary, 38, Stella, 36, and James, 30, and stepdaughter Heather, 44, with late wife Linda on a remote Scottish farm - has revealed he never told his kids he was a world famous musician.
He said: "There was this one moment where they were riding their little ponies in Scotland, and Stella said to me 'Dad, you're Paul McCartney, aren't you?' and I said, 'Yes darling, but I'm daddy really.' "
The 65-year-old musician also revealed all his children - including four-year-old Beatrice from his failed marriage to Heather Mills - performed a version of The Beatles classic 'When I'm 64' when he reached the landmark age last year.
He said: "I planned to try and ignore turning 64, but on the morning of my birthday my kids did a version for me. I even had the baby doing it! It was great."

McCARTNEY STUNNED BY DAUGHTER'S BEATLES RECOGNITION
SIR PAUL McCARTNEY was stunned when his daughter BEATRICE recognised him from his BEATLES days.
The 65-year-old admits he was shocked when the four-year-old - his child with estranged wife Heather Mills - spotted him in a photo of the band.
He says, "It's kind of spooky. She sees old pictures of me, lets say in the Beatles, and she'll say, 'That's Daddy when he was different.' "I love that. It's a great way of looking at it. And I suppose it's how I feel." McCartney and Mills are currently embroiled in a bitter divorce battle.
Paul McCartney’s US tour in jeopardy thanks to Heather Mills
Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney has revealed that his forthcoming tour could be disrupted by his divorce with estranged wife Heather Mills, because the bitter legal battle is “dictating” his life.
Paul, 65, who’s currently promoting his new album Memory Almost Full, his first album with new record label Starbucks, said he wants to play the US, but added: “I don’t want to talk about my divorce, though it has a bearing on that.”
Paul, currently embroiled in a bitter legal battle with Heather Mills, said his music helps helps him forget his woes.
He told the Chicago Tribune newspaper: “I just try to keep my head down and get on with my music.
“That’s the great thing, the great healer. I’m trying to make an antidote.”
Macca: Oil you need is love
SPELLBOUND Sir Paul McCartney has become obsessed with an oil painting . . . called The Guitar Player.
The former Beatle makes regular trips to an art gallery to view the work by Dutch Master Jan Vermeer, staring at it for up to 40 minutes at a time.
Mega-rich Macca, 65, has even enquired about buying the centuries-old painting, which depicts a teenage girl posing with a guitar.
But its owner English Heritage told him it will never be sold for any price. Art expert Bart Cornelis said last night it could be worth more than £50MILLION.
Pals say Macca uses the gallery at Kenwood House in Hampstead, North London, as a haven during his bitter divorce battle with estranged wife Heather.
He has viewed The Guitar Player at least ten times recently. And one attendant said Paul — famed for playing his distinctive Hoffner bass left-handed — “seemed hypnotised” by it.
