Holiday |
siN's metal news reports: OZZY OSBOURNE has
issued a compassionate statement to his fans, stating his plans for the
future:
"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."[see full

Into The Moat? |
Metal Blade reports: We send our deepest apologies
to the people who come out to our upcoming shows only to find that we are
not there. As you know, our bassist quit the band the first day of this
Soilent Green tour leaving us to play 3 weeks of it with only guitar. Now
we are suffering another devastating blow to the band as our guitarist,
Robert Shaffer thought it was best to quit the band right in the middle
of a tour and would not agree to finish his responsibilities within this
band. In the meantime, we are currently back at home working really hard
to find someone able to tour until the end of October. Yet again we want
to apologize. Due to Rob's irresponsible actions we are forced to drop
off some shows but we plan on jumping back on the tour ASAP. So if you
live in the south Florida area, can play guitar well, don't have much to
do, and aren't an emotional basket case...... email us [email protected][see
