    PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, August 18, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Ripfest, a heavy metal festival featuring a host of rock gods, gets underway near Prague at the end of the month.

Speaking in promotion of the concert, the vocalist told local newspaper Denik: "The more you go crazy, the crazier I will go and the longer I will play. It will be a great show!"

Lining up alongside Osbourne at Ripfest will be notorious US rock stars Korn, plus Nazareth and Ken Hensley with his new band the Live Fire.
