Rocker Ozzy Osbourne reportedly pulled out of his scheduled appearance on 'American Idol' because he didn't want to perform a duet with former contestant Sanjaya Malaker.

According to US media reports, Osbourne told Pagesix that he "didn't want to be on stage with (him)".

He later branded the aspiring singer, who received much criticism during his stint on the show, a "hairstyle-challenged idiot".

Aerosmith star Steve Perry was later drafted in to replace Osbourne as Malaker's singing partner.
