Black Sabbatical: No Ozzfest This Year
By MaxMarginal Thursday Feb 12, 2009 11:10amTwo years ago it was free. Last year it was just one show in Texas. This year, Ozzfest will not be happening at all.
Ozzy Osbourne is currently in the studio in Los Angeles co-producing his tenth studio album with Kevin Churko. [snip] The two-time Grammy Award winner has decided that he will not be touring until he has a new album in stores (currently projected to be Thanksgiving 2009). Thus, Ozzy has decided to put his namesake festival Ozzfest on hold this year.
I spent much of my early teens listening to Black Sabbath tapes and CDs cursing the year I was born, which happened to be the last year that Black Sabbath had recorded with Ozzy at the mic. Seeing Sabbath reunite at Ozzfest 1999 and blow away every fresh-faced hard rock act to kick a double bass pedal that day in their first three chords made it the most convincing rock reunion I've seen so far.
