Ozzy Osbourne has accepted undisclosed libel damages and an apology over a newspaper claim that he was ill at the Brit Awards.
The 59-year-old rocker sued over a story in the Daily Star that alleged he had toppled over twice just before the televised ceremony and that he was moved around the awards in an electric buggy.
Osbourne's lawyer, John Kelly, told a court in London on Thursday that none of the allegations was put to Osbourne or his representatives before they were published.
