The first episode of "Ozzy & Jack's World Detour", the new show produced by the History channel starring Ozzy Osbourne and his son Jack, can be viewed in its entirety at History.com.

Ozzy resumed a year-long farewell tour with BLACK SABBATH last month, which will include SABBATH and SLIPKNOT headlining a combined festival, Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, this September in San Bernardino, California.
