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.
