OZZY OSBOURNE - "'The Bat-Biting Lunatic'; That Will Be My Epitaph"

The Los Angeles Daily News recently caught up with Ozzy Osbourne while he was doing press for his new album, Ordinary Man. An excerpt from the discussion is available below.

On working with producer Andrew Watt for Ordinary Man:

"He got me doing something I wanted to do. I was down on my bed and couch last year thinking it was all over and [the album] recharged my batteries."

On how he wants to be remembered:

“It’s not the way I want to be remembered, but I know I’ll be the man that bit the head off the bat. That will be my epitaph. It won’t be, ‘Here lies Ozzy Osbourne … he did a bit of good …’ It’s going to be ‘The bat-biting lunatic,’ which … I don’t care.”

Ozzy Osbourne has bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200 with his first new solo album in ten years, Ordinary Man (Epic Records).
