The legendary OZZY OSBOURNE arrived at Fingerprints Music in Long Beach on September 10th to sign copies of his brand new album PATIENT NUMBER 9. The line to meet Ozzy went around for blocks, with fans in the front arriving as early as 2AM to meet the iconic performer. Highwire Daze photographer Jack Lue was in attendance and shot some pix of the iconic Ozzy right before the epic signing commenced.
PRESS RELEASE ON PATIENT NUMBER 9
OZZY OSBOURNE’s PATIENT NUMBER 9 album (out September 9 on Epic) marks OZZY’s first release since his critically acclaimed worldwide chart-topping album ORDINARY MAN in 2020. Produced by Andrew Watt (who handled the same duties on ORDINARY MAN), the new album marks OZZY’s 13th solo studio album. It’s heavy, it’s hard-hitting, it’s historic--it’s everything you’d want from an OZZY record and maybe more. Working with producer Watt for the second time, OZZY welcomed a dynamic A-list featured guests. For the first time ever, Black Sabbath co-founder, guitarist, and riff-master Tony Iommi appears on an OZZY solo album.
The record also 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 appears on three songs. 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.
