On the eve of the release of Ozzy Osbourne's new album, "Ordinary Man" (Epic Records), more than 50 cities around the world will host celebrations for the largest global tattoo sale and album listening event in history.

Please note, signing space is limited. The line to purchase will form on Sunset Blvd. on February 21 before store opens at 10:30 a.m. There is a limit of two copies of "Ordinary Man" per person for signing. No additional items will be signed at this event and no photos with the artist will be possible. "Ordinary Man" marks Osbourne's first new solo music in almost ten years.
