MTV.com is reporting the following:

Its been rumored for months that this summers Ozzfest would be its namesakes last — and on Friday, Ozzy Osbourne announced that he is retiring as the headliner of the annual heavy metal festival. However, the singer is expected to finish this summers tour and plans to make occasional appearances at future Ozzfests.

“After 10 years, the Ozzfests name and reputation have been established,” he said in a statement. “Its time for me to move on and do other things.” His publicist noted in a statement, “Ozzfest will carry on in 2006, however Ozzy will limit his performances to only a few, select cities.”

Blabbermouth reports: BLACK SABATH and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will be teaming up for a bunch of post-Ozzfest U.S. dates in the fall, BLS mainman Zakk Wylde revealed during an interview with Eddie Trunk of VH1 Classic.

BLACK SABATH and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will both be performing on the main stage at this years Ozzfest.

Blabbermouth reports: Despite previous reports to the contrary, OZZY OSBOURNEs upcoming box set will be called “Bible of Ozz” and not “The Prince of Darkness”, a spokesperson at Sharon Osbourne Management has confirmed to BLABBERMOUTH.NET.

The 52-song set, due on February 8, chronicles Ozzys career via his biggest hits and most memorable collaborations, while including a separate disc with 10 newly recorded versions of his favorite songs by other artists. This means that Ozzy fans can hear the madmans very own renditions of classics by the ROLLING STONES, MOUNTAIN, MOTT THE HOOPLE, KING CRIMSON, and others. [see full story for more]

Digital Noise reports: Sharon Osbourne once beat up a Japanese groupie who climbed into bed with her and husband Ozzy.

The X Factor judge was furious when the woman snuck into Ozzys hotel room in the hope of sleeping with him – so she took physical action.

She recalled: “Once a Japanese fan came to Ozzys room and climbed into bed with him, not realising I was in there, too. I beat the shit out of her. She wasnt expecting that.

I was like, Wrong room, baby!”

Sharon insists she trusts Ozzy never to cheat on her – but she admits her threatening behaviour helps keep him faithful. [see full story for more]

I am sure you have heard by now that Ozzy was severely hurt in a 4-wheeler accident in the UK. We at Gamers Radio are big fans and just wanted to wish Ozzy a quick and speedy recovery.

CNN.com has an article about Ozzy canceling his european tour due to a tremor.

The good news is the tremor is controllable with medication.

The bad news is the medication causes Ozzy to have a very dry mouth, affecting his ability to sing.

Oh the jokes I can think of concerning dry mouth. Ill just let you make up your own.
