After reports that he was missing following his split from wife Sharon, Ozzy Osbourne reunited with his former spouse at a press conference to announce a huge joint festival with Slipknot. Watch it below. 

Last week it emerged that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne had separated after 33 years of marriage, before a spokesman for the couple revealed that, "at this time, Ozzy is not in the marital home" - before the Black Sabbath frontman and Slipknot revealed that a huge joint announcement was coming

They all came together to announce 'Ozzfest Meets Knotfest' - set for 24-25 September at the San Manuel Amphitheater and Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, with over 40 metal acts set to play, with Black Sabbath headlining the first night before Slipknot close on the Sunday. 

"We are here to create havoc and history. Let the madness begin," said Ozzy, before Sharon added: "We want it to be the loudest, biggest, dirtiest festival in California."

"This could be the one of the coolest things I've ever been a part of," Slipknot's Corey Taylor added, while bandmate Shawn 'Clown' Crahan went on, "Playing with Black Sabbath is always an honour. Merging both festivals will be a legendary experience that will be life-changing for all fans. We are excited to bring all the families together again."

Disturbed, Megadeth, Opeth, Black Label Society, Children of Bodom, Hatebeed, Death Cross, Municipal Waste, Kataklysm and Nails, Slayer, Amon Amarth, Anthrax, Suicide Silence, Emmure, Butcher Babies are also set to play.

Meanwhile, 2016 sees Black Sabbath embark on their 'final ever tour' - including headlining Download Festival alongside Iron Maiden and Rammstein.  

 Download takes place between 10 and 12 June at Donington Park in Derbyshire, and you can get tickets and more information here.
