Ozzy Osbourne and Rob Zombie Invade North America

Press release
Source: VQ PR

Ozzy Osbourne announced his 2007 North American tour in support of the new CD release Black Rain [Epic Records]. Aligning with Ozzy on this tour is the pioneer of new horror media and music, Rob Zombie. Zombie just released Halloween, premiering number one at the box office breaking all Labor Day Weekend records while grossing an estimated 31 million dollars. As Halloween is well on its way towards cult status, Zombie once again takes his horror-show back on the road in support of the long awaited Zombie-Live album.

Recorded in 2006 during the tour supporting the Educated Horses album, which hit #5 on the Pop chart, Zombie-Live finds Zombie leading a supercharged band featuring guitarist John 5, bassist Piggy D, drummer Tommy Clufetos and was produced by long-time co-writer and producer Scott Humphrey.

Zombie and his band will set the stage turning the house into a funhouse of mystery and madness as creatures walk the stage of pyrotechnics, smoke and mirrors. This is a no-holds barred show so hold on for the ride. The tour is a two month alliance starting in Seattle, WA at the Key Arena and will end December 22nd in New York, NY at Madison Square Garden.

Selling over fifteen million albums worldwide, Zombie is one of Geffen Records top selling and longest running artist. He has directed dozens of high profile music videos including Ozzy Osbourne’s Dreamer video, contributed recordings to soundtracks and is known for twisting the imagination and boundaries of both film and music. In 2005, Zombie assaulted the film world with the critically-acclaimed, macabre and twisted masterpiece The Devil's Rejects, the follow-up to his already cult classic House of 1000 Corpses (2004).

Come join the madness as Ozzy and Zombie take over North America.
