Sharon Osbourne is auctioning the quad bike that nearly killed her husband Ozzy.

The 58-year-old Black Sabbath rocker was left in a coma for eight days when he crashed the 350cc Banshee quad bike at his Buckinghamshire mansion in 2003.

The bike – which has a dented front from the crash – is expected to fetch UKP1,500 in the auction which also includes 600 pieces of jewellery, dresses, paintings and furniture from the controversial family’s house.

However, Ozzy can’t understand why X Factor judge Sharon is selling some of his most prized possessions.

He said: “I don’t know why we’re selling everything, because I want to keep it all. Sharon keeps telling me that we have to, or otherwise our house will f***ing explode!”

The auction is being organised by Julien’s Auctions, and will be held in Beverly Hills’ Gibson Guitar Showroom on 30 November and 1 December.

Bids can be placed over the phone, on the internet or in person. Proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Foundation – which Sharon set up after battling the disease herself.
