Andrew Watt Reveals There Are Unreleased Ozzy Osbourne Songs: “We Made [Them] for a Specific Reason”

Andrew Watt, who produced the final two Ozzy Osbourne albums before the rock icon's passing, has disclosed that there are unreleased Ozzy songs waiting to be heard. The two discussed the material just a day before Ozzy's "Back to the Beginning" performance in July 2025, which came shortly after his death. During an interview with Rolling Stone, Watt stated, "There are some songs that we made for a specific reason.

And, yeah, that's all I can say. They're hard for me to listen to." He later mentioned that plans for releasing the songs were "kind of" in motion.

Just before the concert, Watt visited Birmingham with Sharon and others to have curry, and met Ozzy while he was in his hotel room. After listening to the unreleased material, Ozzy expressed his desire to join them. Watt brought curry and spent time with Ozzy, who was drawing and listening to the new songs. The last moments Watt spent with Ozzy were the listening session and a conversation about various topics. Watt described the experience as "beautiful."

Watt also paid tribute to Ozzy for helping him break into the rock world by producing two of his albums, Ordinary Man in 2020 and Patient Number 9 in 2022. He expressed gratitude for the lessons Ozzy taught him throughout their collaboration. Additionally, Watt credited Ozzy for launching Yungblud's career, as he chose the song "Changes" for him to sing.

Yungblud's performance at the "Back to the Beginning" concert had a profound impact on his life. Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning, a film documenting Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's final concert, premiered in Los Angeles on October 14th and was released widely on October 28th. Tickets for the screenings are available online.
