Ozzy Osbourne
Feb 21, 2023
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne has teamed up with PlayStation® to create a hilarious vignette that debuted on Monday, February 20th exclusively on all of Ozzy's online platforms (website and social media), after which PlayStation channels shared it globally.
The collaboration features music from Ozzy’s Grammy-winning 2022 "Patient Number 9" album. In the spot, Ozzy is seen testing out PlayStation VR2 (releasing February 22nd), interspersed with some lighthearted banter between Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne as they are in the midst of packing for their move to the UK. PlayStation VR2 is Sony Interactive Entertainment’s next-generation virtual reality headset that works with the PlayStation®5 (PS5™) console.
This new piece follows a recent Super Bowl commercial for Workday with Ozzy and his Grammy wins just two weeks ago. Ozzy's critically acclaimed "Patient Number 9" album was honored with two (2) Grammy Awards for “Best Rock Album” (his first-ever win in the category) and “Best Metal Performance."
“The new PlayStation VR2 is f***ing amazing,” said Ozzy. “I was having such a great time playing while filming the commercial that I didn’t want to leave. I told them they got to get me one when they’re released.”
