Ozzy to Unveil Giant Les Paul

Ozzy Osbourne will sign a giant Gibson Les Paul at the House of Blues on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip today, marking a return to the famous stretch of street where Ozzy was honored in 2009 at a tribute event during the Sunset Strip Music Festival.

Ozzy will autograph the one-of-a-kind, 10-foot-tall Fiberglass Les Paul at 2 p.m. Pacific time during a ceremony which will also mark the launch of the second leg of Ozzy’s U.S. arena tour, which will include special guest Slash – with Myles Kennedy of Alter Bridge on vocals – as support.

Ozzy’s Sunset Strip Les Paul will join 25 other Fiberglass axes as part of Gibson GuitarTown, a public arts project to honor the rock legends, people and places that made the Sunset Strip famous, including the Roxy Theater, the Whisky A Go Go and the Rainbow, and legends such as Slash, Jimi Hendrix, Mötley Crüe, KISS, Brian Wilson, The Doors, Peter Frampton, the Runaways and Cheech & Chong. Each sculpture is created by a noted visual artist. After the instruments complete their tenure on the Strip they will be auctioned to benefit non-profit organizations and charities.
