The Bark at the Moon Tour was a tour by Ozzy Osbourne from 1983 to 1985, supporting his album Bark at the Moon .
Background Mötley Crüe and Waysted were support acts for the tour. Osbourne witnessed Mötley Crüe perform at the US Festival in May 1983 and chose them as his opening act for his upcoming world tour. Osbourne has been credited for the fame and success Mötley Crüe received going forward in their careers, and also the popularity of their hedonistic lifestyle.[ 1]

Tour schedule and personnel changes In late 1983 Carmine Appice toured with Ozzy Osbourne in support of his Gold-selling Bark at the Moon album, but shortly afterward was fired from the backing group.[ 2] [ 3] Though Osbourne had a good relationship with him, the singer's wife and manager Sharon detested Appice, and the decision to fire him was strictly hers.[ 4]
