Ozzy plays his first concert ever in Israel on Tuesday night (September 28),staging a mini-Ozzfest in Tel Aviv that will also feature KORN on the bill. Asked why he never came to the country before, Ozzy told reporters, "I guess I was drunk for so many years," adding that politics had nothing to do with it: "I try to stay away from politics. They don't understand me and I don't understand them."

Several artists have stayed away from Israel in protest of the nation's policies toward the Palestinians, while other acts like METALLICA and ELTON JOHN have played there.
