Ozzy Osbourne will appear in Activision's upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour.

The rocker will appear with guitarist Zakk Wylde, accompanied by his solo tracks 'Crazy Train' and 'Mr. Crowley'.

He told USA Today: "[Activision] liked my music and I have a big young following, I've been told. I'm from the old school. I don't own a computer. I just got an iPod that I've organised. I have got to learn how to turn it on. That's about it, you know. I can't download. I can't do any load."

The 59-year-old explained that Guitar Hero World Tour offers an energetic interpretation of his on-stage persona.

He said: "I had to put on this black suit with all these little ping-pong ball-like things all over me, motion capture. I had to dance around like I'm on stage when one of my songs are on.

"I don't really know how it works, but I have seen a run of it. It is really interesting. The image of me, I wish I had the energy it has."
