Ozzy Osbourne Set to Release Final Album, Pomises “One Last Mad Ride”
July 9, 2025 | Los Angeles, CA — Rock legend and “Prince of Darkness” Ozzy Osbourne has officially announced the release of what he says will be his final studio album, closing the curtain on a monumental career spanning more than five decades.
The yet-to-be-titled album is set for release in early 2026 and will feature a lineup of special guests, including former Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, as well as rumored collaborations with some of rock and metal’s biggest names. Osbourne, 76, described the record as “a love letter to the fans” and said it would be “one last mad ride before I hang it up.”
“I’ve been through a lot these past few years — health issues, surgeries, ups and downs — but music has always kept me alive,” Osbourne said in a statement. “This will be my last album. I want to go out doing what I love, with everything I’ve got.”
The album is being produced by Andrew Watt, who previously worked with Osbourne on his critically acclaimed 2020 release Ordinary Man and 2022’s Patient Number 9. Longtime collaborators Zakk Wylde and Duff McKagan are also rumored to be involved.
Despite stepping back from touring due to ongoing health issues, Osbourne has not ruled out a one-off performance or farewell event to accompany the album’s release.
“I’m not saying goodbye to my fans — I’m just saying goodbye to the studio. It’s time,” Osbourne added.
Fans can expect more details, including the album title, tracklist, and lead single, to be announced in the coming months.
