NEW YORK (Ozzy Fans Website) -
Ozzy Osbourne says he's ready to rock. The 55-year-old, who is steadily recovering from multiple bone fractures, says he will return to the stage for this year's Ozzfest tour. After his all-terrain vehicle accident in December, doctors estimated a six-month recovery period.
Wearing a black neck brace, Ozzy told reporters at a press conference on Friday "considering I died twice, I'm feeling pretty good." He also denied he will have a team of paramedics on the side of the stage as he performs.
Ozzfest kicks off July 10th with Judas Priest, Slayer, Slipknot, Hatebreed, Lamb of God and more.
