Last month, Ozzy revealed the track’s title during a recent episode of his podcast. When asked by his daughter, Kelly, about what he’s been up to lately, Ozzy replied, “I did Billy Morrison’s new song, ‘Crack Cocaine.'”
“Oh, what a lovely name,” Kelly quipped.”
“Well, it’s not about crack cocaine,” Ozzy stated. “It’s about being addicted to a girl.”
Billy Morrison’s forthcoming album, The Morrison Project, is due out on April 19 through The Label Group/Virgin Music. The lead single, “”Drowning,” comes out on February 23. In addition to Ozzy Osbourne, other special guests on the record include Billy Idol, Steve Via, John 5 (Mötley Crüe), Al Jourgensen (Ministry), DMC (Run-DMC), Linda Perry (4 Non Blondes), Steve Stevens (Billy Idol), and Tommy Clufetos, who has performed with the likes of Rob Zombie, Ted Nugent, and Black Sabbath.
Morrison’s debut album, god shaped hole, came out in October 0f 2015.
Back in October, Ozzy Osbourne regretfully pulled out of Power Trip. The “Crazy Train” singer said that his body was telling him that he’s “just not ready yet” to play a festival. British metal juggernauts Judas Priest stepped in for Ozzy.
As painful as this is, I’ve had to make the decision to bow out of performing on Power Trip in October. My original plan was to return to the stage in the summer of 2024, and when the offer to do this show came in, I optimistically moved forward. Unfortunately, my body is telling me that I’m just not ready yet and I am much too proud to have the first show that I do in nearly five years be half-assed. The band that will be replacing me on Power Trip will be announced shortly. They are personal friends of mine and I can promise that you will not be disappointed. Above all, I want to thank my fans, my band, and my crew for their unconditional loyalty and continual support. I love you all and I will see you soon. God Bless.– Ozzy Osbourne
