We thought we might see a new Ozzy record this year, but it just turned out to be a teaser campaign for a greatest hits album… but we were right about the new record bit! We just didn't know it yet and our time table was a little off. There will be a new Ozzy record (likely) in 2016, according to Epic Records President Sylvia Rhone in an interview with Billboard.
Rhone also told said Osbourne has an album on the horizon. "It's going to be a really special album," she said. "It's going to be amazing, it's something Ozzy has never done before that he's always wanted to do."
She added that it's too soon to talk details of the special project.
…and now I really want to know what makes this project so special. Special as in something crazy? Special as in it involves a lot of really great musicians? Special like it comes with a free pair of Ozzy glasses? We'll just have to wait and see.
