“DO YOU WANT A KICK IN THE BALLS?” — Andrew Watt Reveals the First Words Ozzy Ever Said to Him… and the Last 🎸🔥
It wasn’t an insult. It was Ozzy Osbourne’s icebreaker. The start of a wild, unpredictable friendship that took them from a random studio session to making two of the most personal albums of Ozzy’s career.
From Ordinary Man in 2020 to their final late-night recording just months before his passing, Andrew says Ozzy could make you laugh, cry, and rethink your whole life in the same breath.
But in his tribute, Andrew dropped one detail no one saw coming — what Ozzy whispered to him the last time they spoke. And if you’ve ever loved Ozzy, it’ll hit you harder than any guitar riff.
👉 Full story in the first comment
The duo first teamed up on Ozzy’s 2020 LP Ordinary Man, forging a creative partnership that remained strong until Ozzy’s death last month.
Andrew Watt has shared a moving tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, describing their close friendship as “the greatest gift of all”.
Osbourne passed away last month at the age of 76, leaving behind an enduring legacy as the Prince of Darkness and frontman of heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath. Tributes have poured in from fans and fellow musicians around the world, honouring his decades-long influence and singular voice that helped define an entire genre.
In a new Instagram post, Watt opens up about the grief of losing his close friend and collaborator. “Still processing saying goodbye to Ozzy Osbourne,” the producer writes. “Someone said ‘Grief is the price of love’. I say that to myself everyday but at the end of the day I just miss my friend so much. There is a new hole in my heart, something I will learn to live with.”
“The music is obvious. How lucky I was to share in a little of Ozzy’s magic, but the friendship was the greatest gift of all. I will miss laughing with you forever Boss. Do you want a kick in the balls?”
Accompanying the post are photos of the pair hanging out on and off stage, along with a video of Ozzy having fun with a harmonica in Watt’s studio.
Watt produced Ordinary Man, Osbourne’s 2020 solo album, and remained a close musical ally in recent years.
“Ozzy and I have a connection that’s unlike anything else I’ve ever experienced,” he told Guitar World in June. “We made some music together that we really love, and we’ll continue making music together forever. More importantly than that, we talk every day and we’re really close friends.”
The producer also took the stage at Back to the Beginning, the all-star tribute show that featured Steven Tyler, Tom Morello, Nuno Bettencourt and Chad Smith celebrating Ozzy and Black Sabbath’s legacy.
