Ozzy Osbourne planning Las Vegas production: Hell Gate

Last fall, Ozzy Osbourne posted a mysterious Facebook page titled OzzysHellGate. Now, Sharon Osbourne has revealed she is working on a production set to launch October 2015 in Las Vegas.

The plan is to produce a standalone show, but there is a possibility it could become a residency at one of Las Vegas' top hotels.

[Update:  Sharon Osbourne has now confirmed that the show will be a one month residency.]

If Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy was to land a long-term performing contract he would follow in the footsteps of Guns 'N Roses, KISS and Motley Crue who did residencies at the Vegas Hard Rock.

A source told The Sun newspaper: "Ozzy has never done a stand-alone show in Vegas and there has been huge interest in what he has to offer. Vegas is an amazing spot, which has been a huge hit with the rock crowd. Ozzy would be a top draw and really do something unique."

Meanwhile, Ozzy is due to start work on a new Black Sabbath album with Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler and producer Rick Rubin in the coming weeks. They plan to follow the record with their "last ever tour."
