OZZY OSBOURNE is to headline a three-night Los Angeles street festival in his honour and return to the fabled Sunset Strip for the first time in almost 40 years.

The Strip will be closed for the first time ever on 12 September (09) as part of the Sunset Strip Musical Festival, which will start with Osbourne’s honour on 10 September (09).

And the Brit is so thrilled about his latest accolade he has agreed to close the event with a Saturday night show – yards away from the famous Whisky A Go-Go club, where the rocker performed a five-night stint with Black Sabbath back in 1970.

The three-day festival will also feature performances from Korn, The Donnas and Kottonmouth Kings at venues like the Key Club, The Roxy Theatre, Cat Club and Whisky A Go-Go.
