Ozzy Osbourne to play one concert in Japan Oct 27

If he remembers to turn up.

Get the bats (the flying kind, not baseball) ready.

Awesome! One of the Godfathers of Heavy Metal! Yeah, he's a laugh riot when he speaks but he's made some incredible albums throughout his years. Gotta snag tickets to that!

Let's be efficient and double-bill these guys - Ozzy and Jackson Japan Tour '08! Oh, yeah. I'm there.

Why is Donny Osbourne dressed up like that? Must be his wife. But seriously...

I hear he's planning to bite the head off a pheasant on stage!

Altria and ProudKoreanGuy,

I think Ozzy has mellowed a bit. Instead of a bat, maybe he'll eat some natto onstage or something.

Taka

well, theres plenty of bats in Japan, so hell be happy chappy.

No visa for Sir Paul, but this white trash gets one? Really Japan really? What a joke!!!!

To him it will look like two.

This guy should be banned from Japan and the US. He was a heavy drug taker, and alcoholic, he also constantly sears and is a bad example to youngsters.

Japan doesn`t need to be influenced by this freak show.

should say "constantly swears"

BoldWar....you funny

Ozzy won't be trying to smuggle drugs into the country.

Way to go Ozzy Osbourne/Japan.

The show has been cancelled....sorry folks, but you'll have to make your sacrifices to satan somewhere else.

Ozzy understands, and always understood, that music cannot be sold to kids if the musicians creating it don`t shock their parents (or at least conservative parents, and boring conformist-types). Over the years I have been to many live performances, rock shows, etc., and few performers can get the crowd going like Ozzy. He is simply a very gifted performer who really loves his work (which is why he gets he still regularily tours even into his later years). He also hires to play with him some of the best current rock musicians in the world. If you have a chance to see him perform live, you should not miss it, as it is always a memorable event. Regarding his drug and alcohol abuse, I would note that Ozzy (in both his interviews and in his music) has always been forthright and honest about how drugs and alcohol have damaged and nearly destroyed his life; I believe it is profitable for young people to listen to his frank stories and hopefully learn from them. Ozzy is a fantastic entertainer, and anyone who cares to learn about him him will find he is such a great entertainer, just as he is also an imperfect father, husband, and rather sad and tragic man, who plays for listeners young and old, kings and trashcollectors alike.

non of his fans care about his drug, alcoholic, and swearing. i been to his concert 3 times, and it is still not enough.
