Ozzy Osbourne album signing at Amoeba Hollywood June 20

In advance of his new much-anticipated album SCREAM--out June 22 via Epic Records--OZZY OSBOURNE will once again take over the Sunset Strip with two record release events Sunday, June 20. That afternoon, the rock icon will host an in-store signing at Amoeba Music on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Later that night, some lucky fans will join OZZY for a private record release playback and rare club performance down Sunset Blvd. at the House of Blues.

OZZY will sign copies of his new SCREAM CD at Amoeba from 5:00-8:00 PM and the first 600 fans in line who purchase a copy will also receive a free ticket to that night’s 10:00 PM House of Blues performance. Please note: the in-store signing is limited to the first 800 fans and there are no line-ups prior to 3:00 PM.

SCREAM was produced by OZZY and Kevin Churko, both of whom did the same honors for OZZY’s 2007 worldwide million-selling album Black Rain. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer recorded most of the album--his first in three years and 10th studio album overall--at his Los Angeles home studio, The Bunker, and co-wrote all the songs, primarily with Churko. Notably, the album marks the first appearance of OZZY’s new guitar player, Gus G. OZZY’s band also features bassist Blasko, drummer Tommy Clufetos and keyboardist Adam Wakeman. The album has been launched with the red-hot single “Let Me Hear You Scream,” now #8 on Billboard’s “Rock Songs” chart for the country’s top alternative, mainstream rock and Triple A tracks. Look out for the soon-to-debut video for the fist-pumping anthemic song that was lensed by famed director Jonas Akerlund.

OZZY will embark on an 18-month world tour (dates TBA) in support of SCREAM, first headlining, with Motley Crue, this summer’s highly anticipated return of OZZFest that kicks off August 14 in Devore, CA. As part of Live Nation’s “No Service Fee June,” all tickets for the six-city OZZFest tour will feature ticket discounts from $20 for a single ticket to up to $35, when purchasing a four-pack. This is part of a month-long massive Live Nation price promotion which will eliminate service fees on nearly 8 million tickets, more than 700 shows and 110 artists.
