Ozzy Osbourne has launched a signature line of beauty products. The 'Prince of Darkness' has teamed with cosmetic brand Rock and Roll Beauty to create The Ozzy Osbourne Collection.
Featuring 21 separate items, The Ozzy Osbourne Collection includes all manner of cosmetic staples, including eye-shadows palettes, lipsticks, candles, nail stickers, a cosmetic bag, a goth-inspired mirror and more.
Highlights of the line include a bat-shaped eye-shadow palette inspired by the infamous 1982 bat-biting incident and another eye-shadow palette shaped like a coffin.
The Ozzy Osbourne Collection is available now via Rock and Roll beauty.
The launch of the cosmetic line isn't the only offering that Ozzy Osbourne has in store for the world, with The Osbournes set to return to reality TV for the first time since 2005 with the new series Home To Roost.
The ten-part series, Home To Roost will see the family return to the UK, after twenty years of living in the USA. It will follow the family as they celebrate one of their most important years yet - with everything from Sharon’s 70th birthday to Kelly’s soon-to-be-born baby, Ozzy’s tour, and of course the big move itself.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter released his new solo album Patient Number 9 in September.
The first new music from the Prince of Darkness since his critically acclaimed, worldwide, chart-topping 2020 release Ordinary Man, Patient Number 9 is a remarkable release from one of the rock world's most enduring stars.
Produced by Andrew Watt, Patient Number 9 is Osbourne's thirteenth solo studio album. It’s heavy, it’s hard-hitting, it’s historic--it’s everything you’d want from an Ozzy record.
Working with producer Watt for the second time, Ozzy welcomed a dynamic A-list supporting cast. The record boasts guitarists Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Mike McCready of Pearl Jam, and longstanding righthand man and six-string beast Zakk Wylde who plays on the majority of the tracks.
For the bulk of the album, Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers held down drums, while the late Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters made an appearance. Old friend and one-time Ozzy band member Robert Trujillo of Metallica plays bass on most of the album's tracks, with Duff McKagan of Guns N' Roses and Chris Chaney of Jane's Addiction supplying bass on a few songs. For the first time ever, Black Sabbath co-founder, guitarist, and riff-lord Tony Iommi appears on an Ozzy solo album.
The Prince of Darkness himself provided some insight into all that went into creating Patient Number 9
Ozzy Osbourne on Patient Number 9
Q: This is your first album to be released after the pandemic. What was going through your mind during the early days of the pandemic and are any of those feelings reflected in these songs?
Ozzy: “Well, I was vaccinated and boosted and I still caught Covid in the end. My last album (Ordinary Man) was released just a few weeks before the pandemic started, and I was just about getting ready to go into the studio to work on this new one when the world shut down. It’s no secret that the last four years have been very difficult for me but making this album took my mind off of my problems.”
Q: The album features some players with whom have history. What was it like to be reunited with Tony Iommi musically?
Ozzy: “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.”
Q: Zakk contributes a lot on this album--how was the decision made to have him play since he didn’t play on the last album?
Ozzy: “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.”
Q: Tell us about the first single, Patient Number 9, which features Jeff Beck. What do you feel he has contributed to the song?
Ozzy: “The song is about a mental institution. Having someone like Jeff Beck play on my album is just incredible, a total honor. There’s no other guitar player that plays like him and his solo on Patient Number 9 is just jaw-dropping.”
