Ozzy Osbourne is set to release a new album titled 'Back to the Beginning' on February 21st, 2025. The album will feature a star-studded lineup of guest artists, including Billy Idol , Corey Taylor, Run-D.M.C., Al Jourgensen, and Linda Perry. One standout track on the album is 'Gods of Rock N Roll', a collaboration between Osbourne and Idol.
This re-recorded version of the song boasts vocals from Osbourne, backing from a 61-piece orchestra, and extra guitars from Steve Stevens, who has been touring with both Idol and Morrison for years. Osbourne shared about the track, “Billy and I wrote ‘Gods Of Rock N Roll’ together in a hotel room while I was touring in South America about 10 years ago. This re-recorded version of the song finally has all the bells and whistles. I told Billy then that it needed an orchestra and a choir, but it took 10 fucking years for him to listen to me!” A music video for the new version of 'Gods of Rock N Roll' is also available, directed by Ivo Raza. The clip showcases Osbourne, Morrison, Stevens, and others working on the track at NRG Studios in Los Angeles, while the orchestral session was filmed in Budapest. Morrison commented on the video, saying, “I’ve known Ozzy for 30 years, and there’s a couple of intimate moments where I was watching the video and I was like, ‘Oh, man, I love that guy,’” He continued, “It’s just what we’re like — the bits in the video where he gives me a hug, and where he’s constantly messing with me. It’s total mischievous Ozzy — there’s a bit where we’re at the board, and he’s flicking the switches and mucking about! I think all that captures something special.” The album 'Back to the Beginning' will also include a special performance by Osbourne with his Black Sabbath bandmates. The 'Back to the Beginning' show will take place on July 5th in Birmingham, England. It will feature Osbourne reuniting with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward on stage together for the first time since 2005. The concert will also feature an impressive lineup of other heavy metal legends, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, and more. Tom Morello is set to serve as the musical director for the event.
