Ozzy donating profits from L.A. show to cancer

Ozzy Osbourne has announced that he will donate all of his net profits from a November 30th show in Los Angeles to the Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer Program. According to a press release, that will include money from both ticket and merchandise sales. In addition, 50 cents of every ticket sold to the Staples Center concert will also go to the cause, which was founded by Osbourne's wife and manager Sharon after her own public battle with colon cancer.

The Sharon Osbourne Colon Cancer program works with the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where Sharon was treated, to improve the lives of patients and their loved ones by providing at-home help, childcare, transportation, access to support groups and patient care services.

Information on the disease and the program will be available at booths set up for the Staples Center show.

The concert, which marks Ozzy Osbourne's first headlining arena appearance in Los Angeles in six years, is part of a 40-date tour which kicked off last Thursday (October 18th) in Seattle. Ozzy headlined the annual Ozzfest this past summer.

Ozzy is touring in support of Black Rain, which was released earlier this year and is his first new album since 2001.
