Rocker Ozzy Osbourne got a two-day jump on his birthday with a surprise Las Vegas trip organized by his wife Sharon.

Along with their children Kelly, Jack and Aimee, the Osbournes had an entourage of 25 friends in tow for Ozzy’s birthday visit.

Although his 60th birthday isn’t actually until tomorrow, Sharon decided on an early start last night with a trip to see Cirque du Soleil’s Love musical, about the Beatles, at The Mirage.

Sharon, a judge on America’s Got Talent and readying a new TV variety showcase series hosted by Ozzy and her a la Sonny and Cher, had made plans for the family to go backstage after the show to meet the cast. When Ozzy, who is a huge Beatles fan, entered the workout area, all of the Love performers serenaded him with “Happy Birthday.”

Ozzy and the family posed for photos and chatted with the artists until it was time for them to get ready for their second show of the night and for the Osbournes to leave for the first of their birthday celebration dinners here.

Ozzy, who served as a backup singer on Ringo Starr's solo album Vertical Man, told USA Today in August that he plans to retire from his music career after two more albums.

Early this morning, Jack and Kelly Osbourne turned up at Prive nightclub in Planet Hollywood. Jack arrived with several ladies and kept to Evian water while his sister joined the group with more friends shortly after 1 a.m. Ozzy had turned in already, but he and Sharon’s kids watched a special performance by up-and-coming hip-hop star Ron Browz, who sang his hit “Pop Champagne” to the packed crowd.

Also at Prive joining in the fun was former New York Yankees slugger and current free agent Jason Giambi dancing and drinking Ketel One vodka with cranberry juice.
