Ozzy Osbourne spoke to Metal Hammer about the follow-up to 2020’s Ordinary Man album and has stated 15 were recorded for the record.
Ozzy said, “It’s going to be similar in tone to Ordinary Man, but I can’t describe it completely. I’ve not heard it for a while because it keeps going over to the next person to add their parts – we’re fucking around with it all the time.”
Osbourne will again be working with producer Andrew Watt and the album will feature guest appearances by Zakk Wylde, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, and former Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi.
On September 9, Ozzy Osbourne's Ordinary Man album, released on February 21, 2020, was officially certified gold by the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America), with sales exceeding 500,000 copies.
In its first week of release, the critically acclaimed Ordinary Man - Osbourne's first new solo album in ten years - was the #1 rock album in the world, topping multiple charts. Worldwide, Ordinary Man entered the charts in the Top Ten in seven countries making it the highest charting album of Ozzy's career.
Ordinary Man was recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) on bass and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums. Beyond the core band, Ordinary Man, features a who's-who of Ozzy friends and collaborators including Slash, Elton John and Post Malone.
