"I thought it was the drugs and the alcohol that made it all work," he told Apple Music's Zane Lowe in an interview. "But it's not true. All I was doing for years is self-medicating 'cause I didn't like the way I felt. But then this is the first album I've co-wrote and recorded fucking completely sober." Prior to the arrival of "Ordinary Man", the last record that Ozzy worked on was BLACK SABBATH's 2013 reunion effort, "13". "The last album, I wrote some of it stoned," the singer, who has been sober nine years, said. "I quite like being sober now. 'Cause at least I can remember the fucking thing I did yesterday."

"Why am I here?" Ozzy asked Lowe. "Chris Cornell was a great, great singer. "I'm not being funny and I'm not being cocky, I can remember times when I've fucking woke up with puke down me," he continued. "I've fucking woke up with a bed full of blood, when I've fallen down and banged my head or whatever. My friend John Bonham, I used to go drinking with him. He died. Bon Scott, he died. I don't know what to fuckin' say. "People go, 'You must have the Midas touch' or whatever," he added. "I'm lucky. I wasn't any better than any of them. I even fucking would go so far as to say I was worse in some cases. But it's the luck of the draw. Seventy-one and I don't fucking understand how I got there." "Ordinary Man" came out in February 2020. Ozzy, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, publicly announced his diagnosis in January 2020, but was actually diagnosed back in 2003.
