Sharon Osbourne Says Talks Are Ongoing About A BLACK SABBATH Reunion In 2008

In a report from Gary Graff at www.Billboard.com , Sharon Osbourne says she's pleased OZZY OSBOURNE will be back headlining the entire OZZFest run this year after playing limited dates in 2006.

"It just legitimizes it," she says. "It's his name up there. He's the godfather... the icon figure."

And while the tour will be promoting Ozzy's latest album, Black Rain, she says talks are ongoing about a BLACK SABBATH reunion in 2008.

"We're definitely talking to the guys, just talking," she says. "I think when they finish their (HEAVEN AND HELL with RONNIE JAMES DIO) tour and we finish (OZZFest), we can sit down and spend more time on it."

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."
