OZZY OSBOURNE Hopes To Begin Recording New Album Next Month - "I Might As Well, While I'm Not Doing Gigs"
February 25, 2020, 4 years ago
Host Eddie Pappani teamed up with Disturbed frontman David Draiman to host Ozzy Osbourne for iHeartRadio's "Icons" event in celebration of the release of Ozzy Osbourne's new album, Ordinary Man.
Fans lined up for the intimate event. They were treated to exclusive details on the meaning of Ozzy's new songs, how his writing has changed over the years, his plans for the future, insecurity, and much more.
Asked how his approach to writing songs has changed over the years, Ozzy revealed: "With this album, because I was so miserable the last year, it was a relief just to get and do something that I love to do. I had no deadlines. And I'm hoping that next month I'll go and do another album with (producer) Andrew (Watt). I might as well, while I'm not doing gigs."
When it's pointed out that this year marks the 50th anniversary of Black Sabbath's first album, Ozzy comments: "I cannot believe it! It's gone by so quickly. I can remember going to the studio for the first time with them. I remember thinking, 'Oh, this will be fun for the next couple of years, wining and dining.' And here we are fifty years later."
Did he expect that people would still be talking about Black Sabbath all these years later? "This is the biggest surprise of my life and the best gift that God ever gave me… or satan."
