Fan-Pranking Promotions

The Ozzy Osbourne "Wax Figure" is More Realistic Than You Think

In promoting his new album ‘Scream,’ Ozzy Osbourne decided to play a prank on his fans by pretending to be an Ozzy Osbourne wax figure at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. Managing to stay completely still, the singer scared his fans by “coming to life” as they walked towards him to take pictures.

Scaring men, women, families and even little children, this Ozzy Osbourne “wax figure” was a definite success, as it got many fans screaming.
