GameSpy reports:
Blizzard has sent out word that The Prince Of Darkness himself, OZZY OSBOURNE, will headline BlizzCon's closing concert in Anaheim, CA, on August 22nd. This will be Ozzy's second official collaboration with Blizzard's World Of Warcraft following on from the recent TV commercial (see below).
The largest event of its kind, BlizzCon is a celebration of Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft game universes and the global player communities surrounding them. At the closing ceremony on August 22, Ozzy will unleash a thunderous spectacle of rock to put the Lich King in his place and cement his own title as the one true Prince Of Darkness.
One of the most influential rock musicians of all time, Ozzy Osbourne rose to prominence as the lead vocalist for BLACK SABBATH before embarking on a multi-platinum solo career. He is also known for putting on the OZZFest music festival and for starring in his own reality TV show.
Ozzy Osbourne's career has spanned four decades and his music is as relevant today as ever. The Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Famer has sold over 100 million albums 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.
20,000 tickets for the event sold out in less than eight minutes, but Direct TV viewers and internet streamers can view the entire convention for $39.95.
