Power Trip Festival Lineup Announcement Coming Today

Power Trip is a new metal festival and the rumored lineup is huge. Bands like Metallica, Guns n' Roses, AC/DC, Tool, Ozzy Osbourne and Iron Maiden.

Yep.

The promoter is Goldenvoice - they do Coachella, so we're talking deep pockets here. Power Trip will apparently take place October 6 - 8 at the same location as Coachella, which is the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California. That's not too far from Palm Springs.

At some point today, promoters will announce the official lineup and ticket prices. I expect both to be massive (ha).

Back to those "rumors." I'd consider them more confirmations when bands like Metallica and AC/DC literally tweet the same video as below with the saying "Are you ready for a Power Trip?" Then Sharon Osbourne was on Piers Morgan Uncensored and confirmed Ozzy's appearance and she also mentioned Metallica and AC/DC, so...

It will be interesting to see who rounds out the lineup. Will it be 70s and 80s metal or stray toward newer acts? I guess we will all know soon enough.

Ozzy Osbourne Retires From Touring (For Real)

Age, illness, surgeries and accidents have all apparently caught up with the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. This morning, Ozzy took to social media to announce his retirement from touring.

Ozzy simply can't handle the rigors of the travel part anymore. This announcement of ending tours does not mean Ozzy will never perform live again. In fact, his statement talks about finding ways to perform without so much travel.

Folks have been holding on to Ozzy tour tickets for a long time now, because previous shows were cancelled due to the pandemic and illness. You are now eligible for refunds.

As always, health and family first over career. Applies to all of us, no matter our position, age or income level.

This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to share with my loyal fans… pic.twitter.com/aXGw3fjImo

So Ozzy Osbourne Has A Makeup Line - And I Want It All

Celebrities with their own makeup, skincare and perfume lines are pretty standard these days. Still, most think of artists like Britney Spears or J.Lo when talking about such things. What about Ozzy Osbourne? Yes, the Prince of Darkness has a signature look and he sure has worn a lot of eyeliner in his day. Now, he has a makeup line too. If you want his dark look you can get it now via Rock and Roll Beauty. (Seriously, why didn't I start that company?)

The special collection is available at Ulta. That's a mega makeup chain for those who might not purchase such items on the regular. The eye shadow palette is in the shape of a bat... because, of course it is. The gothic makeup mirror looks really cool and would make a nice gift. The makeup brushes have a great carrier featuring a skull and Ozzy's logo. For practical purposes, the brushes would be great for travel. All jokes aside, the makeup line looks pretty solid. The lip colors are names of popular Ozzy songs like "Mr. Crowley" and "Perry Mason" (of course).

Rock and Roll Beauty is the same company that recently released a special Def Leppard makeup collection, too.

Final Two Episodes - 'The Making of Patient Number 9'

Recently I posted a video from Ozzy Osbourne, sharing a "behind the scenes" webisode on the creation of his great new album Patient Number 9. I love these little video looks - they are called "The Sabbath Connection" and "Live Forever." Good stuff for a Friday. Happy weekend! I am so glad the work week is done!

A Look Inside 'Patient Number 9' - Webisode 1

Ozzy Osbourne's Patient Number 9 is a phenomenal new record. The album is packed with big name rock heroes. When you get Zakk Wylde, Eric Clapton, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan - and more! - together, you know it's going to be good.

Ozzy is releasing little webisodes about the "making of" Patient Number 9. The first one just dropped and it is really interesting and under 7 minutes. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Ozzy Is Sick Of Mass Shootings (Like The Rest Of Us)

Ozzy Osbourne is British and wants to return "home" for the "end of his life." Hopefully the Prince of Darkness doesn't leave us anytime soon, but he does have his share of chronic health problems. Regardless, he is surely accurate in his view of America's crazy mass shootings. No matter his age and health issues, Ozzy also says he feels he's got another tour in him. More power to him and I hope he's right!

'Degradation Rules' - New Ozzy Osbourne Video

Ozzy Osbourne just released a video for his new track "Degradation Rules." The track features iconic guitarist Tony Iommi too. The song will be on the upcoming Ozzy album Patient Number 9, due out in early September. It's a cool track - how can you not love new music from these two metal masters?
