QUIZ: How well do you know Ozzy Osbourne?
Test your knowledge on the rock icon ahead of the release of his new album and his UK tour.
Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne will release his 12th studio album Ordinary Man on Friday 21 February 2020.
Fans can pre-order the album now through the official Ozzy Osbourne store.
His first album in almost decade, Ordinary Man was recorded in Los Angeles and features producer Andrew Watt on guitar, Guns ‘N’ Roses veteran Duff McKagan on bass and Red Hot Chill Peppers’ Chad Smith on drums.
The forthcoming album also features guest appearances from Guns ‘N’ Roses guitarist Slash, Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello, US hip hop superstar Post Malone and fellow music icon Elton John, who duets with Ozzy on the emotionally charged title track.
Ozzy says of the collaboration: “When I was writing Ordinary Man it reminded me of an old Elton song and I said to Sharon, ‘I wonder if he would sing on it?’ We asked and lo and behold, he agreed and sings and plays the piano on the song”.
