Keep an eye out for the new single tomorrow!
The album, it should be noted, will not feature longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde, though there seems to be no ill will between the two over that.
“We didn’t do anything on that," Zakk said in a recent interview. "Ozzy, he just jammed with some friends that he knows. He was just, like, ‘Hey, Zakk, I ended up tracking some stuff,’ and I was, like, ‘Oh, great, Ozzy.'"
“That Post Malone thing I heard was awesome," says Wylde of Ozzy's guest vocals on Post Malone's Take What You Want, which Ozzy said was perhaps his favorite thing he's done since Black Sabbath. "Post came down to a Black Label Society show half a year ago – before the Ozzy thing. He came down and was like, ‘Hey, Zakk, what’s happening?’ A really cool guy. When I heard the track, Ozzy sounds great on it, man. But no, I didn’t have anything to do with the stuff that Ozzy just recorded.”
