Zakk Wylde Still BFFs With Ozzy, Now LOLs At Spat Rumors

Zakk Wylde was feeling isolated and insecure earlier this week upon finding out that Ozzy Osbourne, his longtime mentor and collaborator, was replacing him with John 5. Osbourne said in an interview with Classic Rock that there wasn't a falling out, but that he was a little concerned his music was beginning to sound too much like Black Label Society. Apparently the news came as a surprise to Wylde, who undoubtedly felt adrift and full of questions. After speaking with Ozzy, however, Wylde has put aside his fears, Twittering that "Everything is great with Ozzy/Dad." It's so nice to see Wylde happy again. Those heavy metal guitarists are such fragile creatures. [Contact Music]
