Warped Founder Retracts Ozzfest Slam

08/04/07
. (antiMusic) Kevin Lyman have published an open letter to Sharon Osbourne following their recent conversation about Ozzfest, according to Punkbands. Lyman made headlines last week when he was quoted in newspaper article slamming Ozzfest. Here is the text of the open letter: Dear Sharon, Good speaking with you just now. Per our discussion, I wanted to apologize if any of my comments quoted in the Kansas Star News were taken out of context or based on misinformation I was given. It was not my intent to discredit Ozzy or your family in any way.

If Ozzy is in fact working for expenses only, then I was wrong in saying he was out for one more paycheck. I�ll be the first to say I should not bother myself with other tours and keep my nose in my own projects as they have been keeping me busy enough as it is. For that, I�m sorry

If you feel the need to release this letter in it�s entirety to your Ozzfest fans, please do so � I�ve always been a supporter of Ozzfest and the work you do and hope that this summer�s tour brings you and Ozzy great success.
