Black Label Society<\/a> have released an emotional video for Ozzy’s Song \u2013 their touching tribute to the late Prince of Darkness.<\/p>\n

BLS mainman Zakk Wylde<\/a> was Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>‘s longtime friend and guitarist and he, like so many others in the rock world, was devastated when the Black Sabbath<\/a> icon died last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He wrote Ozzy’s Song as a tribute while on tour with Pantera<\/a> and the track’s official video \u2013 which can be viewed below \u2013 features footage and images of the pair together through the years.<\/p>\n

It appears on the latest Black Label Society album Engines of Demolition, which was released this week.<\/p>\n

Wylde previously told Metal Hammer<\/a>: “I would never have written the song if Ozzy hadn\u2019t passed away, obviously.<\/p>\n

“I had the music written, but I didn\u2019t put any lyrics to it. Next thing you know I was back over there, laying him to rest, and I had to go back out with Pantera.<\/p>\n

“The next day when I flew home, I had a show at Jones Beach. When I got back from the Pantera celebration, as soon as I got home, is when I wrote the lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the simple title he chose for the track, Wylde said he had his wife to thank: He said: “I remember playing it for her and she kept referencing it as, \u2018Put Ozzy on, let me hear the Ozzy song again’. That\u2019s why I ended up just calling it Ozzy\u2019s Song.<\/p>\n

It was recorded on Zakk\u2019s iconic, custom made Les Paul, known as ‘The Grail’, that was made famous during his early years as Ozzy\u2019s guitarist.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdam [Fuller, Black Label Society\u2019s long time engineer] was with me when I did the solo on that song, and he said, \u2018You should probably go and get The Grail’,” Wylde added.<\/p>\n

“So, for the solo on that song I broke out The Grail. It makes perfect sense, you know, the first song that I ever wrote with Ozzy was on that and then also the last tribute to him.”<\/p>\n
