“It was just hit after hit after hit after hit. Me and Ozzy were just watching, high-fiving each other, fist-bumping each other after ‘Rocket Man’ or ‘Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me.’ We’re like, ‘Wow, that’s pretty amazing.’ I go, ‘You’re not too shabby either, bro.’ He just giggled. He doesn’t view himself with his peers,” Zakk Wylde said.

Ozzy Osbourne is a big fan of Elton John’s music and they both had the chance to record together when they made a duet on Ozzy’s studio album “Ordinary Man” (2020).

In an interview with NME back in 2020, Ozzy said he thanked God that he never partied with Elton John back in the early days because both of them probably wouldn’t have made it alive to the 90s. “I don’t think we would have both fucking made the ’90s if we had. I remember Sharon taking me to a gig of his years ago, and his fucking dressing room was like a fucking bar with every known fucking spirit. Then he’d do seven gigs on the bounce. I’ve said to him, ‘How the fuck did you keep singing?’ If I even thought about cocaine, my singing would go out the fucking window.”
