John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne (born 3 December 1948) is an English singer, songwriter, actor and television personality. He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which he adopted the nickname "The Prince of Darkness".
Osbourne was fired from the band in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but he went on to have a successful solo career, releasing eleven studio albums, the first seven of which were all awarded multi-platinum certifications in the United States. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions.
New Rolling Stones Album Features Paul McCartney, Elton John, Lady Gaga, More Guests
variety.comJem Aswad Executive Editor, Music The Rolling Stones have revealed the full track list of their first full album of original studio material since 2005, “Hackney Diamonds” — and the full list of guests. “Sweet Sounds Of Heaven” features vocals from Lady Gaga and keyboards and piano from Stevie Wonder, “Bite My Head Off” gets some inimitable bass from Paul McCartney, and “Get Close” and “Live By The Sword” have Elton John on piano.
The Stones’ original rhythm section of bassist Bill Wyman and late drummer Charlie Watts is reunited on “Live By The Sword.” Watts, who died in 2021, is also featured on the song “Mess It Up.” Reports of the Stones recording with McCartney leaked earlier this year, along with unconfirmed — and apparently inaccurate — word that Ringo Starr played on the song as well.
The 12-song album, produced by Grammy-winner Andrew Watt (Post Malone, Elton John, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Ozzy Osbourne), is out October 20 on Geffen Records.
Last week the Stones launched the album at a globally live streamed event from Hackney Empire in East London. The live stream was followed by the premiere of the video for “Angry,” staring actor Sydney Sweeney.
