Scott Williams of eGigs.co.uk reports:

OZZY OSBOURNE has announced two extremely intimate shows in the UK. The Prince Of Darkness will play Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone on Tuesday, June 29th and Oxford's O2 Academy on Thursday, July 1st.

With the release of his 11th studio album, Scream, set for a June 15th release via Epic Records, this will be the first opportunity for English fans to hear the new material live.

It's been three years since Ozzy last performed in the UK, and even longer since fans have had a chance to see the metal legend in such intimate settings - tickets are on general sale from 10 AM this Friday, and eGigs will have links to buy them then.

Ozzy and ROB HALFORD (JUDAS PRIEST) were interviewed on the April 30th edition of Sixx Sense - hosted by MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx - regarding their involvement in the recently-announced Ozzfest 2010. Watch video footage below:
