Overview
- Zakk Wylde says Osbourne texted him shortly before his July death proposing they make another album together.
- Osbourne described the desired sound as heavy yet more melodic, citing Wylde’s Allman Brothers and Skynyrd phase linked to No More Tears.
- The proposed sessions never began, with Osbourne instead completing his autobiography Last Rites and taking part in film projects.
- That late period is captured in Ozzy: No Escape From Now on Paramount+ plus the BBC’s Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home.
- Osbourne died at 76 just 17 days after a final Black Sabbath show at Villa Park, and Wylde recalls a last text from him expressing thanks.
