THE MERRY MAYHEM TOUR WITH OZZY OSBOURNE AND ROB ZOMBIE
COMING TO A TOWN NEAR YOU!

Ozzy Osbourne Kicks Off Tour in Support of New Album,
Down to Earth, In Stores October 16

On October 31, Ozzy Osbourne invites one and all to revel in
Merry Mayhem, a holiday extravaganza -- Ozzy style!!! Rob Zombie
joins Ozzy, along with MuDvAyNe, on the two-month tour that is
sure to give the Yuletide season a whole new meaning. In true
Ozzy fashion, concert-goers will be titillated by the sights and
sounds of Xmas as the concourse area of each venue is
transformed into Santa's Grotto. Filled with Santa's elves and
other wild surprises, Santa's Grotto is a holiday adventure
not to be forgotten.

Originally titled the Black Christmas Tour, Ozzy decided to
change the name of the tour to Merry Mayhem following the
events of September 11. He feels that because so many lost
loved ones, it will indeed be a dark holiday season for
countless families and he wanted to be respectful of their
feelings.

Ozzy is talking special steps to give back to the families of
the firefighters and police men and women who lost their lives
helping others in the World Trade Center tragedy, and will
donate proceeds from the sale of special 'Ozz Bless America'
merchandise sold at the 'Ozz Bless America' booth at every show.

Both Ozzy and Rob Zombie will donate all proceeds from ticket
and merchandise sales from the Meadowlands show on December 23
to the families of the firefighters and police men and women.
Merry Mayhem is Ozzy's first solo tour in seven years and is in
support of his new album, Down To Earth, in stores October 16.    
'Gets Me Through', the first single, is just one of 11 powerful
tracks featured on the Tim Palmer produced disc. Guitarist
Zakk Wylde, bassist Robert Trujillo, and drummer Mike Bordin
all played on the record and will join Ozzy on tour.

Tickets will start to go on sale September 29. Get
