In related news, BW&BK; spoke to Ozzy recently about his 40th anniversary celebrations, set for next year.
"Right now, all I've got this year is to do a great tour I hope," said the famed frontman. "A celebration to me means everybody gets drunk. When I go to any function anymore, I make my presence known and then I leave. When you don't drink, there's nothing worse than someone that does drink trying to fucking talk to you. They're just breathing fucking fumes all over you. I'm sure something will happen. What, I don't know. I'm blessed with the fact that I've lasted so long."
