Ozzy Osbourne lines up New Year's Eve's Ozzfest, on the road to recovery
With Ozzy Osbourne recovering from the staph infection that forced him to reschedule the last few North American dates of his 'No More Tours 2' tour, it looks like the vocalist, songwriter and actor will be getting back onstage earlier than expected. According to a report by Rolling Stone, the 69-year-old will headline a special one-off Ozzfest show on December 31 at the L.A. Forum and count down to the New Year. Joining him on stage will be Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn's Jonathan Davis (playing a solo set) and Ice-T's Body Count.
The gig marks the first time since its 1996 debut that Ozzfest has staged a New Year's Eve celebration. "I asked Sharon what we're doing this New Year's Eve and she said 'WE'RE DOING F**K ALL!'" Osbourne said in a statement. "So, I thought, 'We didn't do Ozzfest in 2018, so let's do a New Year's Eve Ozzfest'."
