OZZY OSBOURNE RELEASES NEW ALBUM ‘ORDINARY MAN’ TODAY (FEBRUARY 21) WITH HISTORY-MAKING GLOBAL TATTOO EVENT YESTERDAY (FEBRUARY 20) & LOS ANGELES IN-STORE SIGNING APPEARANCE AT AMOEBA RECORDS HOLLYWOOD TODAY
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter OZZY OSBOURNE has released his first new solo album in ten years, the highly anticipated ORDINARY MAN (Epic Records). Get it here.
To celebrate the record’s arrival, OZZY made history by launching the largest global tattoo sale and album listening event ever across 50 cities worldwide on Thursday, February 20. Fans heard the record before anyone and were the first to choose from a collection of exclusive OZZY-inspired tattoo designs.
Today, OZZY returns to the world-famous Amoeba Records (where he last hosted an in-store in June 2010) in Hollywood, CA at 5:00pm. To attend, purchase ORDINARY MAN (available on CD, LP or picture disc) in-store at Amoeba Hollywood on February 21.
Additionally, OZZY today unveils the Golden Ticket Sweepstakes with the release. In the U.S. only, all physical copies of the album (CD, vinyl, cassette, and pre-saves) are bundled with a unique code. Beginning today, fans may enter their codes at ordinarymansweepstakes.com to redeem for once-in-a-lifetime OZZY prizes. The prizes range from a trip for two to Los Angeles to have dinner with OZZY and Sharon Osbourne, a signed guitar, a Blizzard of Ozz platinum plaque, See You on the Other Side Box Set, and more.
ORDINARY MAN was preceded by a trio of new OZZY classics. Epic rocker and first single “Under The Graveyard” tallied over 15 million streams and 5.3 million YouTube views on the music video. Premiered just last month, the title track and cinematic ballad “Ordinary Man” [feat. Elton John] eclipsed 7 million streams. Meanwhile, the metallic burner “Straight To Hell” [feat. Slash] scored 6.9 million streams and 4.2 million YouTube views on the music video.
Shared as the latest single last night, the album reunites OZZY with Post Malone on the thrashed-out ripper “It’s A Raid.” From the harmonica-driven devilish blues metal stomper “Eat Me” to the ominous and otherworldly trip “Scary Little Green Men” and the poetic choir-backed confessional “Holy For Tonight,” ORDINARY MAN represents every side of one of the most influential, insurgent, and impactful icons of all-time.
Experience ORDINARY MAN now.
ORDINARY MAN marks OSBOURNE’s first new solo music in almost 10 years. Recorded in Los Angeles, the album features producer Andrew Watt on guitars, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses) on bass and Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) on drums. Beyond the core band, ORDINARY MAN features a who’s-who of OZZY friends and collaborators including Elton John, Slash, Post Malone, and Tom Morello. Get the album here.
