Ozzy sings for Billy Morrison

Billy Idol and former Cult guitarist Billy Morrison has streamed his track Gods, featuring guest vocals from Black Sabbath icon Ozzy Osbourne.

It’s taken from Morrison’s album God Shaped Hole, which also features Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. The trio previously worked together in live covers band Camp Freddy.

Morrison recently explained: “I got a text from Ozzy, wondering where I’d disappeared to. I told him I’d decided to record a solo album and the next text back was, ‘I want to sing!’”

God Shaped Hole was released last week. Sabbath headline next year’s Download festival as part of their farewell tour.

Not only is one-time online news editor Martin an established rock journalist and drummer, but he’s also penned several books on music history, including SAHB Story: The Tale of the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, a band he once managed, and the best-selling Apollo Memories about the history of the legendary and infamous Glasgow Apollo. Martin has written for Classic Rock and Prog and at one time had written more articles for Louder than anyone else (we think he's second now). He’s appeared on TV and when not delving intro all things music, can be found travelling along the UK’s vast canal network.
