Besides Iommi, the new Ozzy album will also features guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Zakk Wylde and Mike McCready. Besides Duff McKagan (Bass), Chad Smith (Drums), Rob Trujillo (Bass) and Chris Chaney (Bass).
A few weeks before the release of the track, Ozzy talked in an official statement about working with Iommi: “It was really great working with Tony. He’s the riff master. No one can touch him in that respect. I only wish we had these songs for Black Sabbath’s 13 album. Zakk is part of my family and always will be. The album needed that weight that his playing provides. He just came in and really sorted things out,” Ozzy Osbourne said.
The complete album will be released next September 9. His most recent one was “Ordinary Man” released in 2020.
