OZZY OSBOURNE Doesn't Miss The Constant TV Cameras

May 7, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: Since pulling the plug on their MTV reality series, "The Osbournes", Ozzy Osbourne and his family are free of ubiquitous TV camera crews. As he prepares for this year's Ozzfest, Osbourne said that he doesn't miss the constant surveillance. "At first when I started doing 'The Osbournes', it was a lot of fun," he said. "And then things started to happen, like my kids couldn't handle it, I couldn't handle it, my wife got sick with cancer. Wherever you go it's full of somebody with a boom mic or a wire and a camera. You get kind of freaked out, 'cause you start looking around the house for hidden cameras and whatever, you know."

The program chronicled Sharon Osbourne's battle with cancer, as well as younger children Kelly and Jack Osbourne's stints in rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse.

Ozzfest 2005 begins on July 15th in Mansfield, Massachusetts. Osbourne will be performing with BLACK SABBATH this year, topping a bill that includes IRON MAIDEN, MUDVAYNE, ROB ZOMBIE and, on the last seven shows, VELVET REVOLVER.
