Billboard have shared a new oral history piece focusing on Ozzfest. You can check that out HERE. The article features contributions from Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, as well as members of Slipknot, Tool, Disturbed, Lamb Of God, etc. In particular, Coal Chamber’s Dez Fafara praised Sharon for the festival and the impact it had on people’s careers:
“[Sharon] changed people’s worlds. I don’t think System of a Down, I don’t think Deftones, I don’t think Slipknot, I don’t think Coal Chamber, I don’t think DevilDriver would’ve been who we are without Sharon Osbourne coming up with the idea for the Ozzfest. I think everybody owes her a great debt. She’s a f–king shot caller and she gave me the shot. She gave me the shot twice.”
Sharon also discussed the future of Ozzfest:
“We get asked about [Ozzfest returning] all the time. And I honestly don’t know. After Ozzy’s accident, I don’t look into the future much. I would love the name to carry on for my husband, but I can’t plan long term right now. I just live in the day.”
