Description
Ordinary Man is the upcoming 12th studio album by English heavy metal singer and Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne. The Feb. 21, 2020 release is Osbourne's first solo album in nearly a decade.
The title track is a duet with Elton John, and two featured singles are "Straight to Hell" and "Under the Graveyard."
"There's a line in ‘Ordinary Man' where I sing, ‘I don't want to die an ordinary man,' which I don't think I will," Osbourne says. "It was a lot of fun to do, though. It's a lot different from my other albums. We recorded it quickly, which I haven't done since the first Black Sabbath album. This made it a different process, which I actually enjoyed."
He adds that securing guests John and Slash "just came together. … 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 play piano on the song."
