The first 'Ordinary Man' short clip was revealed last Friday (6th March) and depicts Ozzy sitting along in a cinema watching film reel of terraced houses in Birmingham.

Shared over the weekend, the second clip features an image of Ozzy as a child graffitied onto a wall, before Ozzy pensively looks on at the same childhood photo in the cinema.

Featuring co-vocals and piano from Sir Elton John, plus Slash (guitars), Duff McKagan (bass) and Chad Smith (drums), ‘Ordinary Man’ is the title track for Ozzy’s twelfth studio album, which debuted at number three on the UK album chart last month.

‘Ordinary Man’, which was recorded while Ozzy was recovering from a serious fall last year, also boasts the anthems ‘Under the Graveyard’ and ‘Straight to Hell’.

Last week Ozzy Osbourne cancelled a scheduled appearance at South by Southwest Festival in Austin, Texas due to the ongoing threat of coronavirus.

On Saturday, South by Southwest (SXSW) was cancelled altogether by organisers for the first time in its 34-year history.

The cancellation was ordered by Austin Mayor Steve Adler, who declared "a local disaster". SXSW said they were "devastated" by the decision.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain last week, Ozzy Osbourne once again reiterated his wish to return to the live stage as soon as possible.

“My desire is to get back on stage,” Ozzy explained. “I’m not ready hang up my mic yet. That’s what I live for. To do shows.”

Asked what happens if he won’t perform live again, Ozzy firmly replied: “I will. Absolutely (determined). I will be up there (on stage), I have to say that.

“Because I know you’re gonna say ‘what will you do if you can’t do it again?’ That’s not an option because I will do it. That’s not an option because I will do it. I’m determined to, even if it’s just one show and goodbye, I will do it one more time.

Ozzy’s No More Tours 2 with special guests Judas Priest is currently due to reconvene at Newcastle Utilita Arena on Friday 23rd October before taking in shows in Glasgow, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Dublin and Nottingham.
