World-renowned British rocker, Ozzy Osbourne will be coming to Israel this year to play a show to his Israeli fans. Ozzy Osbourne will be performing in Tel Aviv’s Live Park on July 8 of this year as part of his “No More Tours 2” farewell tour, along with members of Black Sabbath, the iconic band he founded and fronted 49 years ago. Ozzy has earned the informal title of “Godfather of Heavy Metal,” due to his overwhelming influence on the music genre.
In a recent press conference posted to Facebook, Ozzy and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, were asked if they felt any pressure not to play in Israel (in light of international anti-Israel sentiments). Sharon, who is also Ozzy’s manager replied, “listen, I’m half a Heeb. We play where we want to play, that’s it.”
Sharon’s father, Don Arden, is Jewish. The apple(s) did not fall from the tree. During the interview, Sharon Osbourne surprised Ozzy when she said that their children, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, “really want to come to Israel.”
Also during the press conference, Ozzy said, “the last time I played in Israel, it was a great concert”. His last show in Israel was in 2010. “It was unbelievable,” Sharon added.
Thank you, Ozzy and all the performers who have decided to play in Israel despite the BDS movement and international anti-Israel advocated.
I must admit back in the day I was quite a fan of Sabbath.
However, I did not follow the career of Solo Ozzy.
Only one thing remains now of interest to me and that is
an epic question.
Who will kick off first, him or Keith Richards?
Maybe Ozzy could invite Roger Waters along to open for him.
I am certain its dyed but Oz still has a nice thick head of hair for his age.
I might be jealous.
He does have good hair. I didn’t notice it because of all the makeup.

I only mention this as a curious instance of the vagaries of “celebrities”....
I have some inkling that she is said to be a celebrity, and that she is married to a rocker, but beyond that she is a blank to me.
i saw him live twice....i also saw em all in their prime (except Hendrix) ..Randy was the best i ever saw..just amazing.
I’m jealous!
There were two 1) Male rocker died in plane wreck 2) Phony liberal talk show host. Doing this from memory so I could be wrong
Randi Joyce Robertson (née Bueten; January 28, 1959), better known by her stage name Randi Rhodes, is an American progressive political commentator, activist and talk radio host. The Randi Rhodes Show is live streamed having been previously broadcast nationally on Air America Radio, Nova M Radio, and Premiere Radio Networks.[1]
Ozzy should do a show with just him, a chair, a piano, and a microphone, performing ballad versions of all of the songs he wrote.
Sharon, who is also Ozzy’s manager replied, “listen, I’m half a Heeb. We play where we want to play, that’s it.” Sharon’s father, Don Arden, is Jewish. The apple(s) did not fall from the tree. During the interview, Sharon Osbourne surprised Ozzy when she said that their children, Kelly and Jack Osbourne, “really want to come to Israel.”
You could get Ozzy to cancel by bringing in Bruce Dickinson :)
