# No Rest for the Wicked Tour

The No Rest for the Wicked Tour was a concert tour by heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1988 and 1989, supporting his album No Rest for the Wicked.

## Background

In 1987 Ozzy Osbourne found Zakk Wylde, who was the most enduring replacement for Rhoads to date. Together they recorded No Rest for the Wicked with Castillo on drums, Sinclair on keyboards, and Daisley co-writing lyrics and playing bass. The subsequent tour saw Osbourne reunited with erstwhile Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler on bass. A live EP (entitled Just Say Ozzy) featuring Geezer was released two years later.

### North America

Opening bands included Anthrax, White Lion and Vixen.

### Moscow Music Peace Festival

Ozzy Osbourne played the Moscow Music Peace Festival on 13 August 1989.
