On February 5, veteran heavy metal musician Ozzy Osbourne won two Grammy Awards, and he reflected on his accolades.
The iconic singer-songwriter scored four Grammy nominations, and he walked away his two wins. He won the Grammy for “Best Rock Album” for his “Patient Number 9” album, which marked his first-ever win that competitive category, as well as for “Best Metal Performance” for “Degradation Rules,” where he features Tony Iommi.
This marks Osbourne’s first solo Grammy wins in nearly three decades, and his mantel holds a total of five Grammy awards.
“I’m one lucky motherfu**er to have won the ‘Best Rock Album’ Grammy,” Osbourne remarked.
“I was blessed to work with some of the greatest musicians in the world and Andrew Watt as my producer on this album. Winning the ‘Best Metal Performance’ was equally gratifying being that the song featured my longtime friend and Black Sabbath bandmate, Tony Iommi,” Osbourne elaborated.
He was also nominated for “Best Rock Performance” and for “Best Rock Song” for “Patient Number 9” featuring Jeff Beck.
