(East Los Angeles, CA) [From The Editor’s Desk]: The Rams are gradually turning SoFi Stadium into a multi-dimensional entertainment complex, thus far made up of sports and music, as Rams fans are going to be among the first to witness this fantastic concept by team owner, Stan Kroenke, and his highly creative and innovative staff. Seems like the old saying, “imagine that!” is a thing of the past when the Rams continuously present the “Best of the Best” to offer its forever supportive fans. The Rams franchise, one of the most renowned in the world, coupled with the NFL, have combined with the world’s A+ List of musicians agreeing to headline a half-time show at an opening season game for the fans, and it just so happens during one of their most anticipated games in recent Rams history.
The Rams Communication Department recently issued this announcement about Ozzy Osbourne’s appearance and we strongly encourage you to read it in its entirety for the timeliness of the Rams hosting this most unique event.

The new album marks the first release since Osbourne critically acclaimed, worldwide, chart-topping 2020 ORDINARY MAN. Produced by Andrew Watt (who handled the same duties on ORDINARY MAN), the new album marks Osbourne’s 13th solo studio album. It’s heavy, it’s hard-hitting, it’s historic–it’s everything you’d want from an OZZY Osbourne record and maybe more. Working with producer Watt for the second time, OZZY welcomed a dynamic A-list featured guests. For the first time ever, Black Sabbath co-founder, guitarist, and riff-master Tony Iommi appears on an OZZY solo album. The record also boasts guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and longstanding righthand man and six-string beast Zakk Wylde who plays on the majority of the tracks. For the bulk of the album, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers held down drums, while the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters appears on three songs. Old friend and one-time OZZY band member Robert Trujillo of Metallica plays bass on most of the album’s tracks, with Duff McKagan of Guns N’ Roses and Chris Chaney of Jane’s Addiction supplying bass on a few songs.
