Last month, Ozzy Osbourne made his fans happy with the new single release that came for the first time since 2020.

Ozzy Osbourne Praises Jeff Beck On ‘Patient Number 9’

When Ozzy Osbourne released the title track of the new album that featured Jeff Beck, he sent a piece of words for the guitarist to praise his work on the album. According to Ozzy, Jeff Beck‘s solo on the song is mind-blowing.

“The song is about a mental institution,” Ozzy said. “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.”

Furthermore, Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde was one of those who talked respectfully about the upcoming Ozzy album. He said that “the album is slammin’. He and Andrew [Watt, producer] wrote the record. Actually, Andrew came up to the Black Vatican, my studio, just going over certain parts where Andrew was like; ‘no Zakk, I did it like this,’ or whatever. So, yeah, it was a blast.

“The stuff’s slammin’, and then Ozzy’s singing great, and I get to put my little fiddly-diddly bits all over it.

“And on top of it, being on an album with Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Lord [Tony] Iommi; I mean, if you would have told me when I was 15 years old that I’m going to be on a record with Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton, I would have been; ‘forget it!, Lights out!’ It’s a huge honour, man.”
