Ozzy Osbourne has confirmed his upcoming appearance on Billy Morrison’s new single, “Crack Cocaine.” The heavy metal icon revealed the track’s title during the latest episode of his podcast. The music video for song features Paris Jackson.
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.”

Kelly revealed that she saw the upcoming video for the song, and that Ozzy looks “great.” She also confirmed that Paris Jackson is in the video. The song is due out in March.

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
