Ten Thousand Motels Ozzy Finally Fired
Music News

Seems like "disillusioned Black Sabbath fans," who launched a petition addressing Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward earlier this year, haven't done it for nothing. As we previously reported, they asked the band's members to consider firing Ozzy "on the grounds of his lack of commitment to Black Sabbath over the last few years." According to Paratrooper Media, Tony Iommi has recently made a statement on his official website, regarding state of affairs in the legendary group.

Tony said that the petition was the last straw in "my, Geezer's and Bill's leniency towards Ozzy," and that the last months passed in a constant deliberation over how to part ways with the careless Osbourne. But this week "the move was made" and Ozzy was notified of the band's members decision. His answer or reciprocal actions still remain unknown.

Another today's report speaks in favour of version that Ozzy was "displaced" from his frontman rank -- a Clear Channel event detail page for the Ozzfest 2005 tour is listing Ozzy Osbourne separately from Black Sabbath as one of the artists performing at the show. Ozzy may be replacing Iron Maiden on the last seven dates of the trek.

crb69 I read that Velvet Revolver is replacing Iron Maiden on the last 7 dates of Ozzfest. They were to go on right before Black Sabbath...now what?

Sabbath isn't Sabbath without Ozzy I'm sorry. I think they made good music without him but VH did too without Diamond Dave.

It's just not the same!

I dunno, I was listening to some live Sabbath some days ago. Hardly boring. Great stuff!
