OZZY OSBOURNE Hits $50 Million In Merchandise Sales

July 27, 2004

Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne has passed the $50 million mark in merchandise sales — a record for a heavy metal performer, according to merchandising and licensing company Signatures Network.

Osbourne has reportedly amassed $35 million from selling merchandise at concerts like his Ozzfest roadshow and $15 million at retail during the past decade. Among the best-selling products are black Osbourne T-shirts, slippers and action figures.

"I think the 'Ozzy for President' and the 'Passion of Ozzy' shirts we just released will be some of the best-selling and most popular among his fans," his wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, said. "Of course, I love Ozzy so much I sleep with one of his shirts on every night."

Despite a downturn in summer concert ticket sales this year, Ozzfest 2004 — featuring the Osbourne-fronted BLACK SABBATH, JUDAS PRIEST, SLAYER and SLIPKNOT — remains healthy.

Signatures Network said new Osbourne merchandise is on the way, including branded fashion jeans, jackets, boots and accessories as well an Osbourne slot machine.

Osbourne and BLACK SABBATH vintage fashion apparel is now sold at Barney's, Bloomingdale's, specialty stores including Hot Topic, Spencer Gifts and Urban Outfitters as well as on www.Ozzy.com.
