OZZY OSBOURNE Bassist Parts Ways With Ex-HELMET Leader

Former ROB ZOMBIE/current OZZY OSBOURNE bassist Rob "Blasko" Nicholson has parted ways with the new project headed up by ex-HELMET leader Page Hamilton, according to MTV.com. Guitarist Chris Traynor (ex-HELMET, BUSH) will be handling bass duties in the studio for the time being.

As previously reported, Hamilton has signed a deal with Interscope Records for the new project, which is targeting a May or June release for its debut. The as-yet-untitled set will reportedly be supported by Hamilton's most extensive set of live dates in some time.
