During an Ozzy Osbourne concert in the Veterans' Auditorium, Des Moines, Iowa, USA, audience member Mark Neal tosses an unconscious bat onto the stage. Believing it to be one of his own rubber stage props, Ozzy picks the hapless creature up and bites off its head. Ozzy is briefly hospitalised for suspected rabies.Full article:
Ozzy Osbourne : I didn't know it was dead at the time. I thought it was one of those rubber toy things, but as soon as I crunched its head I realized, 'Oh my god, what have I done?’.
Pam Culver (medical staff, Veteran’s Auditorium) : For a week that was probably fifty percent of my job - fielding calls from England and Canada and all over the United States. People wanted to know how much did it cost to do that, and did it hurt, and how many shots did he have to have, what part of his body did we have to attack.
