As confirmed by the man himself via Instagram, Ozzy Osbourne has completed work on a new album:

"I’m so happy to let everyone know that I finished my new album this week and delivered it to my label @EpicRecords. I’ll be sharing all the information about the album and its’ upcoming release with you in the next several weeks."

The hugely anticipated release comes two years after his latest solo offering, Ordinary Man which was a huge commercial and critical success, and beloved by his fans. Many believe that this was his finest solo album to date, so Osbourne has definitely set the bar high for himself.

The new album, name yet to be revealed, was first teased a mere five days after the release of Ordinary Man, and now it is finally finished. But ever the hard worker, Osbourne has never been one to rush perfection, and there is no doubt the long wait will be worth it, particularly when seeing the stellar list of guests that will appear.

Confirmed so far are guitarists Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath), Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society), Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Andrew Watt, and Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age). Also featuring are bassists Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses) and Robert Trujillo (Metallica), and drummers Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers) and the late Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters).

Aside from already feeling like a veritable who's who of awesome music, very little is known about the forthcoming album. It is expected to be released towards the end of April, so fans will just need to wait with bated breath until it arrives.

But one thing is certain, with Ozzy Osbourne at the helm and the brilliant line up of musicians joining him, this is bound to be yet another stunning entry into the 73-year-old musical legends already mind-blowing discography.

Ozzy fans, watch this space!
