Ozzy Osbourne – Recording 2 Albums with Zakk Wylde – First to Be Released in February

Former/current/whatever BLACK SABBATH frontman OZZY OSBOURNE is hard at work on two new albums and the first one could be ready by February.

“I don’t want to release an album if it’s not a great album,” the 1970s heavy metal pioneer said in an interview in New York on Friday, declining to give many details about the album.

“I primarily write an album for myself, and if the world likes it, great,” he said. “I’m just hoping that I can get a good couple of albums out.”

OSBOURNE was cautious about when the album would be ready, but his wife, Sharon, who is also his manager, said “hopefully” it would released in February.

The self-proclaimed “Prince of Darkness” said he was working on the two albums with guitarist ZAKK WYLDE.

“I can’t say anything about the songs,” OSBOURNE  said at an event in New York to launch a Hard Rock Cafe T-shirt to raise money for his wife’s cancer charity.

OSBOURNE said he was enjoying playing on the smaller second stage at OZZFEST this year because it allowed him to get closer to the audience.

“I look at the audience sometimes and I go ‘Do they ever grow up and get older?’” he said, expressing some surprise at his enduring popularity with a whole new generation of fans.

“They come, they like it, and they bring their friends. It’s weird,” he said, adding: “I’m not complaining.”
