Blabbermouth reports: KNAC.COM: Word on the
Internet is that DISTURBED has been confirmed for Ozzfest is this true?
Draiman: "We can neither confirm nor deny
such information."
KNAC.COM: So any reports stating that you

Draiman: "They're garbage. I haven't said
anything to anybody. I'm not saying it isn't happening, but I haven't gotten
any official confirmation myself. Some radio station in Seattle decided
to speculate or something. Every radio station interview that I've done
at the station though has been with the whole band, and they've heard me
every single time, and I've never said anything like that. We're in talks
with them, but nothing has been solidified."[see full story for more including
