ROB ZOMBIE Explains Why He Couldn't Do HEAVEN AND HELL Tour

August 27, 2007

The Pulse of Radio (formerly Launch Radio Networks) reports: ROB ZOMBIE has confirmed that he will support OZZY OSBOURNE on a fall tour, telling Los Angeles TV station KTLA on Thursday (August 23) that the trek will begin sometime in October and last through December. Ironically, Zombie's name was initially in the running as support for BLACK SABBATH offshoot HEAVEN AND HELL on its fall dates. But Zombie told The Pulse of Radio that the HEAVEN AND HELL shows were too close to the completion of work on his new remake of "Halloween". "The HEAVEN AND HELL thing was unfortunate, because I really wanted to do it," he said. "It was kind of one of those things that was talked about, but I was shooting the movie and I have a feeling that it got a little too talked about. And when I saw the actual dates of when the tour was taking place, I was like, there's no way I can do it. You know, I mean, I can't, like, wrap up this movie and then expect to be on tour like a week later. I'll be so exhausted, it'll just be horrible."

Exact dates and venues for Zombie's tour with Osbourne have yet to be announced. Osbourne wraps up this summer's free Ozzfest on Thursday (August 30) in West Palm Beach, Florida.

HEAVEN AND HELL begins its fall run on September 5 in Binghamton, New York.

Zombie's version of "Halloween", his third film as a screenwriter and director, comes out in theatres this Friday (August 31).

The rocker-turned-filmmaker's first-ever live album, entitled simply "Zombie Live", is scheduled for release on October 23.
