Ozzy Osbourne - Black RainOzzy Osbourne told Australia’s Herald Sun that sales of his latest album, Black Rain, are “suffering terribly” as a result of illegal downloading. Ozzy Osbourne explained, “I’ve been suffering terribly from people downloading it. If they don’t find something to stop it, people won’t be able to make records. There won’t be any new bands. How are they going to survive? I’m an old-timer, I’ve been doing it 40 years now, but new bands are going to suffer. It’s ridiculous, you could be doing it for nothing.”

Ozzy Osbourne added that he’s been forced to tour more in order to make up for lost income from CD sales, saying, “I’ve never done in a long time as many live shows as I’m doing now. This year I’ve done 90 shows. I mean, I ain’t getting any younger.”

Nevertheless, Ozzy Osbourne denied in a recent call with reporters the charge by his wife and manager Sharon’s brother that his sister was working Ozzy too hard: “My wife does not get involved with telling me about working. I tried retirement, it sucked. If I don’t want to do anything, my wife can’t make me do anything I don’t want to do.”

Ozzy Osbourne is currently on a headlining arena tour of the U.S. with special guest Rob Zombie. The trek pulls into Des Moines, Iowa on Friday night (November 2nd).
