Ozzy Osbourne has shared his plans to start working on another album as soon as next month.
His new album Ordinary Man hit the shelves last Friday and the Black Sabbath icon is showing no signs of stopping. In an interview with iHeart Radio's Eddie Pappani, Osbourne said, “I'm hoping that next month I'll go and do another album with Andrew [Watt, Ordinary Man producer]. I might as well, while I'm not doing gigs."

With his recent tour cancellation of the North American leg of his No More Tours 2 tour, speculation emerged that the Prince of Darkness might retire.
Osbourne confessed, “I've thought about it. I sometimes think crazy thoughts like that. I cannot retire. I love [the fans].”
Speaking with Apple Music's Zane Low, the rock-metal legend detailed that his latest release Ordinary Man marks the first time he has "[co-written] and recorded f***ing completely sober."

He admitted "the last album, [he] wrote some of it stoned." But he shared he rather enjoys being sober now and feels good to "remember the thing he [did] yesterday."
Celebrating seven years of sobriety, Osbourne has lived through "times when [he] woke up with puke down on [himself]...woke up with a bed full of blood, when [he'd] fallen down and banged [his] head."
Somberly reflecting on the passing of his close friends John Bonham and Bon Scott, Osbourne noted, "People go, 'You must have the Midas touch' or whatever.' I'm lucky. I wasn't any better than any of them. I even fucking would go so far as to say I was worse in some cases. But it's the luck of the draw. Seventy-one and I don't fucking understand how I got there."
