RockConfidential.com's Jesse Capps has issued an interview with OZZY OSBOURNE's son, Jack Osbourne, in regards to the feature length documentary, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, co-produced by Jack. A couple of excerpts follow:

Q: Tell me about the first time your Dad saw God Bless Ozzy Osbourne.

A: "It was at the Tribeca Film Festival. He sat next to me in the movie theater. I was looking over every now and then and he’d get emotional at times and was laughing at others. It must have been a pretty wild ride for him – especially to sit there and have PAUL MCCARTNEY talking about him on a big screen! To him, that’s one of his more crowning achievements."

Q: When will God Bless Ozzy Osbourne be available on DVD? Will it have any bonus features?

A: "It will be out around Thanksgiving. There’s plenty of bonus features. About 25 minutes of extra footage and things of that nature."

Q: Jack, I’ve got to throw this in here or I’ll have thousands of metalheads ready to kick my ass. Is there going to be a BLACK SABBATH reunion?

A: (laughs) "Everyone is asking me what’s going on! Honestly, I don’t know. One minute it’s a possibility and the next minute it’s nothing. Last time I spoke with my Dad he was at the house in England and there was no mention of any Sabbath-ness. (laughs) Things can change."

Ozzy Osbourne was absent for the private preview of his documentary God Bless Ozzy Osbourne on Monday, August 22nd at the ArcLight Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, CA. Artisan News caught up with Jack and Kelly Osbourne and asked the obvious question, where is he?

Jack: "I can neither confirm or deny who he's with or where he is."

Kelly: "My dad is with … ohhh, I don't know if I'm allowed to tell you (looking back at her mother Sharon) … but he's doing something that is very, very exciting."

The interviews add more to the rumours that Ozzy is behind-the-scenes working on the rumoured BLACK SABBATH reunion, but that is just pure speculation at this point! Read the latest official response regarding Sabbath here.

Check out the Artisan News report below:

God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, an exclusive in-theater Fathom event that will be broadcast to more than 400 movie theaters nationwide on Wednesday, August 24th and Monday, August 29th at 7:30 PM (local time).

Shot over the course of three years, audiences will experience the life story of Ozzy, as seen through the eyes of his youngest child, producer/filmmaker, Jack Osbourne, who worked alongside directors Mike Fleiss and Mike Piscitelli.

During the documentary, Ozzy will recount his troubled youth, his early career with BLACK SABBATH and the impact of fame and addictions on his first marriage. Viewers will also witness the second chapter of his life as a family man with Sharon, during which his addictions grew to a frightening level, as well as hear Ozzy and his children explain his attempts at staying clean, ultimately resulting in more than five years of sobriety. Music fans will also see live performances from around the world, including rare behind the scenes clips of Ozzy on and off stage, in his dressing rooms pre-show, to his nights in a series of hotel rooms. Throughout God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, audiences are given an inside look into the life of a rock star, from the good times to the bad.

Tickets for God Bless Ozzy Osbourne are available at participating theater box offices and online at FathomEvents.com. For a complete list of theater locations and prices, visit the NCM Fathom website (theaters and participants are subject to change).

Presented by NCM Fathom, Omniverse Vision and Eagle Rock Entertainment, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne will be broadcast to nearly 400 select movie theaters across the country through NCM's exclusive Digital Broadcast Network.

"This is the most honest portrait of my father. I set out to tell the truth - regardless of how raw it might be - and I think we accomplished just that," said Jack Osbourne.

Ozzy Osbourne is a multi-platinum Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning musician. Osbourne's career has spanned four decades (as both a solo artist and as the lead singer of Black Sabbath) and his music is as relevant today as ever. Beyond his music career, Osbourne is an author (I Am Ozzy, 2010), advice columnist (Sunday Times, London and Rolling Stone, America) and the first to have a celebrity-reality television program (The Osbournes, which won a 2002 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Reality Program). God Bless Ozzy Osbourne will relive the highs of his triumphs as well as his voyage to sobriety, which Ozzy regards as his greatest accomplishment.

"During this exclusive Fathom event, Ozzy's son, Jack, will take the legion of Ozzy fans on an unbelievable journey experiencing a side of the music legend most have never seen," said Dan Diamond, vice president of Fathom.
