Just in time to alleviate some of the madness of the holidays, Ozzy Osbourne has lived up to his family-friendly rocker image with a fantastic Christmas playlist that includes hits by everyone from the Kinks to King Diamond — and, of course, a few appearances by Ozzy himself.
Kicking things off with the Prince of Fucking Darkness' recent single "Under the Graveyard," the playlist quickly shifts out of "promo" mode and picks up with some classics. "Wonderful Christmastime" by Paul McCartney and King Diamond's "No Presents For Christmas" set the tone for the eclectic romp through a winter wonderland filled with tunes both expected and not.
The holiday break will give the now-healed Ozzy a little rest before 2020 kicks off big for him. Plans include the upcoming release of his new solo record, Ordinary Man, and a North American tour starting in May that lasts two months and features Marilyn Manson as support. Until then, kick back with some spiked egg nog and shred through Ozzy's playlist at a loud enough volume to drown out your family. Happy holidays!
