Sharon Osbourne criticized reports claiming the 'Back to the Beginning' concert raised $190 million for charities, describing the figure as misleading. She highlighted discrepancies in reported amounts, with figures ranging from $140 million to $160 million circulating online. Osbourne expressed concern over the spread of false press and emphasized the need for accurate reporting regarding the concert's charitable proceeds. The actual amount raised remains uncertain and is expected to be significantly lower than initially claimed.
I'm really happy that we are talking, because one of the things that's frightening me is all this false press about [how] we've made $140 million and all of this, and I'm like, 'God, I wish we could have, for one gig,' it's just ridiculous, the different stories. I went on the internet the next morning and it was like, $140 million, $160 million. And I'm like, 'Where does this stuff come from?' And people like Billboard have printed it.
Oh, $190 million? Thank you, Billboard, for getting it wrong. Just ridiculous.
