WRECKAGE OF MY PAST is an intimate documentary that delves deep into the life of music icon Ozzy Osbourne. A sober Ozzy has reached a point of clarity as he looks back on a lifetime of unparalleled success, misdiagnosed disease, unrelenting fear and a recurring dependency on drugs and alcohol. This is a film about reconciling the past and looking toward the future.
(West Hollywood, Calif. – May 5, 2009) The second annual Sunset Strip Music Festival (SSMF) is confirmed for Sept. 10-12, 2009. In addition to The Strip’s six signature music venues hosting diverse music lineups, SSMF 2009 will also include an outdoor street festival component with the closure of Sunset Boulevard between Doheny Drive to San Vicente Boulevard on Saturday, Sept. 12, from 2 – 9 p.m. This is the first time a significant portion of The Sunset Strip has been shut down for a music event, and it will allow for outdoor stages and increased attendance.
Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne will be honored at a tribute event Thursday, September 10 that kicks off the three-day festival. The tribute event honors icons who have made an impact on the legacy of The Sunset Strip. On Ozzy’s first U.S. tour with Black Sabbath in 1970, the band performed a five-night stand (November 11-15) at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go. Ozzy Osbourne’s career has spanned four decades and his music is as relevant today as ever. The multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has sold over 100 millions album worldwide—50 with Black Sabbath and as many as a solo artist—and in 2003 was honored with a star on Hollywood Boulevard’s “Walk of Fame.”
“We are extremely excited to honor rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, and we are thrilled the City of West Hollywood once again supported the Sunset Strip Music Festival,” noted Todd Steadman, executive director of the Sunset Strip Music Festival. “This year’s street closure will allow us to expand on the success of last year’s inaugural fest and accommodate more fans and festival-goers.”
Friday and Saturday nights of SSMF will feature live music performances from a mix of established and up-and-coming artists at all six venues (Cat Club, House of Blues, Key Club, The Roxy Theatre, Viper Room and Whisky A Go-Go). Saturday will feature a daytime street fest with multiple outdoor stage performances before the clubs open their doors for night performances, and the Mondrian hotel is also onboard for SSMF 2009 and will host a VIP cocktail event.
“SSMF is a great opportunity for us to celebrate The Sunset Strip's rich musical history. It also allows us to recognize the clubs and artists, new and old, who make Sunset Boulevard an international destination,” stated West Hollywood Mayor Pro Tempore John Heilman. “Our first event created so much excitement and enthusiasm, and I know the upcoming event will be terrific.”
More details about the Sunset Strip Music Festival 2009, including artist lineup and ticket information, will be announced.
As most of you already know, Ozzfest will be taking the summer off as Ozzy works on his follow up to ‘Black Rain’, so there will not be an Ozzfest 2009. Ozzfest will return bigger and better the following summer for Ozzfest 2010. More info will be coming as we get closer to 2010. You can see Ozzy talk about Ozzfest 2010, his new album, playing with Slash and more at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXGyq17_osw
The Osbournes will be the featured guest on ABC-TV's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on the Thursday, March 26 episode (which technically airs the morning of March 27 beginning at 12:05 a.m.). More details to follow soon.
Velvet Revolver guitarist Slash will be joined by OZZY OSBOURNE for Slash's headlining appearance at this year's edition of the Quart festival, set to take place June 30 - July 4, 2009 in Kristiansand, Norway. Slash will perform a mixture of old and new material on the festival's opening day. For more info on the festival head over to http://www.quart.no/

OZZY OSBOURNE is currently in the studio in Los Angeles co-producing his 10th studio album with Kevin Churko. The new CD is the rock & roll legend's follow-up to 2007's Black Rain which debuted in the Top Ten on the album charts in 11 countries and spawned OZZY's first ever #1 active rock track, "I Don't Wanna Stop" (which also sat atop the Heritage Rock chart for more than 20 weeks). The two-time Grammy Award winner has decided that he will not be touring until he has a new album in-stores (currently projected to be Thanksgiving 2009). Thus, OZZY has decided to put his namesake festival OZZFEST on hold this year. In the meantime, if you need an OZZY fix you can watch him with Sharon, Kelly and Jack on the "first family of rock's" return to television. THE OSBOURNES: RELOADED is set to launch this spring on Fox TV . Stay tuned for more information THE OSBOURNES: RELOADED and the new OZZY OSBOURNE album.
The Osbournes' brand-new variety show for FOX (Osbournes: Reloaded) is searching for the biggest, baddest Ozzy Osbourne superfans who are willing to do anything (and we mean ANYTHING!) to meet him. We definitely want to push the boundaries. Think eating bugs, licking belly buttons, getting pierced, shaving your head, getting tattooed, etc. If you've always dreamed of meeting Ozzy Osbourne and know that you'd be willing to do whatever it takes, we want to hear from you!
We're looking for HUGE fans from Southern California. If this is you, please shoot an email to producer Brian Updyke (brian.updyke@gmail.com) with your name, age, location, a recent photo, and a brief paragraph explaining why you're the ultimate Ozzy superfan and deserve to meet your idol.
Friday’s ‘Osbournes: Reloaded’ show taping will feature a very special live Ozzy musical performance. We want Ozzy's biggest fans to be there.
Fans who want to attend should come to CBS TV City at 7800 Beverly Blvd, LA 90036 (Genesee Gate) at 8.30pm Friday 19th December. We only have room for the first 150 to attend and only those aged 18 years and above will be admitted. Please do not bring cameras or video.
