The Tea Party and Project Wyze support on the Great White North shows, which run March 3-14. Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa are the lucky cities hosting the three bands during their Canadian invasion.

While in Japan, Osbourne is devising plans to record a live album. There is even talk of a “Live At Budokan”-styled record, although the venue and date have not yet been made public. Three unreleased studio tracks will be included in the package, which is expected to be released during the summer.

Meanwhile, fans can catch a bite of Ozzy’s more personal life as he and his family subject themselves to MTV cameras for the upcoming series “The Osbournes.” The show features weekly installments of Osbourne family life, showing the artist and his family in everyday situations. The music network sent their camera crews to tail the Osbourne clan for the better part of six months, 24/7. Think “Real World” Ozzy-style.

“The Osbournes” debuts March 5 on MTV.
