Turns out, Slash likely won't be able to join Ozzy Osbourne a few days early for his makeup dates in St. Louis and Minneapolis, the latter of which has been rescheduled Jan. 12 at Target Center. Live Nation, the concert's promoter, is saying it does not know who will open the show here. Rob Halford was originally supposed to be the guy (and still could be). Slash is scheduled to join Ozzy's tour Jan. 16 in Omaha. Stay tuned.
