OZZY And SHARON OSBOURNE Offer Support For BRITNEY SPEARS; Video Available

September 28, 2007

"Entertaiment Tonight" caught up with Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne at the sixth annual benefit for the Elton John AIDS Foundation Tuesday night (September 25) at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in New York City, where both expressed concern and support for Britney Spears. Watch the segment below.

As previously reported, Ozzy Osbourne's official web site is currently hosting a poll for fans to vote on what song should be the next single from his "Black Rain" CD. There are three tracks to choose from: "Black Rain" (currently with 49% of the votes),"Civilize the Universe" (11%) and "Here for You" (40%).

"Black Rain" was reissued last month by Epic in a new jewel-case package containing the full booklet with lyrics and new color cover art and photos. It also contains CD extra bonus content featuring behind-the-scenes footage from the "Black Rain" photo shoot.

"Black Rain", which originally came out on May 22, was released in "eco-friendly" packaging, with the CD sleeve made out of recycled paper. In addition, the record came out without a booklet to further save paper, with the lyrics, credits and other inside material available to buyers of the CD at SonyMusic.com.

"Black Rain" features several songs based on current events and the state of the world in general. But Osbourne told The Pulse of Radio that he hasn't turned into an "issues-oriented" artist. "Believe me, I've not suddenly woken up and I'm sane," he said. "But I'm not one of these guys that can write about boy-meets-girl and, I mean, it's got to mean something to me. I don't write all the lyrics, but I have to say, 'Well, you know, isn't that strange that that happened when this happened,' you know, and I'll get going, you know."

"Black Rain" debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, with first-week sales of 152,000 copies.
