OZZY OSBOURNE To Headline Next Year's OZZFEST

October 8, 2007

Gary Graff of Billboard.com reports that Ozzy Osbourne told reporters during a teleconference today (Oct. 8) that he will headline next year's Ozzfest bill — "as far as I know."

Osbourne — who begins an arena tour with ROB ZOMBIE on Oct. 18 in Seattle — told Billboard.com that any BLACK SABBATH plans in 2008, for Ozzfest or separately, are up in the air. "I'm the last person to be told anything," he cracked, but Osbourne noted that he felt if SABBATH was to do anything it would have to be up to a certain standard.

"I'd love to do another BLACK SABBATH album," Osbourne said. "We did try and write together; there are a bunch of things written. But the problem I'm having is it's got to be at least on the same level as when we departed. If it's not, then what's the point in doing it. I'm definitely doing another album, whether with my own band or SABBATH. As long as I'm not doing bullsh*t..."
