OZZY OSBOURNE: 'You Haven't Heard The Last From Me'

Ozzy Osbourne has issued the following statement via his official web site:

"After 10 years, I've decided that this year will be my last as the headlining act on Ozzfest. The Ozzfest is well-established now and I feel it's time for me to hand the reigns off to someone else. However, I will be performing at a few select Ozzfest shows next year.

"Despite the rumors, I don't have permanent throat problems. The truth is that after 11 straight summers on the road, I would just love to finally take a summer holiday with my wife.

"You haven't heard the last from me.

"God bless, Ozzy."
