Queen of Metal, Sharon Osbourne, seen here with Irish pop mogul Louis Walsh after enjoying a late dinner at Cipriani restaurant in London, has reduced the price of Ozzfest tickets to $0. That's right, the original metal tour is now free thanks to tour sponsors who have underwritten the cost of the tour.

"I'm not trying to be the Mother Teresa of the music industry, because I like money more than anybody else," Osbourne recently told Scripps Howard News Service. "[But] these kids cannot afford to keep shelling out all this money, every year charging more and more. The brakes have to come on somewhere."

Fans snapped up 428,000 tickets in the four days after instructions were released for obtaining them. Additional tickets for remaining Ozzfest shows were released on July 18, and more information is available at www.ozzfest.com and www.livenation.com.
