Ozzy comes up big at the 2023 Grammy Awards

Posted by Ramon Gonzales in News on February 6, 2023

The Prince of Darkness was nominated in four different categories and came away with the hardware for his hailed full length, ‘Patient Number 9’.

It has been a week of mixed emotions for metal icon Ozzy Osbourne. During the same week that he was nominated in four different categories at the 2023 Grammy Awards, the iconic frontman had also announced that he would likely be done with large-scale touring due to health concerns.

Completing a whirlwind year campaigning for the arrival of his hailed full length Patient Number 9, Ozzy has added two more Grammy trophies to his collection, taking the top spot in both the Best Metal Performance category and the Best Rock Album slot.

The former celebrated the creative reunion of Ozzy Osbourne and legendary Sabbath guitarist, Tony Iommi, for the track “Degradation Rules”. The track edged out a field of formidable competitors with the likes of Ghost, Megadeth, MUSE and Turnstile all vying for the hardware with standout tracks on year.

Ozzy also scored big in the Best Rock Album category which broadened the scope of competition. Pitted against the The Black Keys, Evlis Costello & The Imposters, IDLES, Machine Gun Kelly and SPOON, Patient Number 9 came away the winner and capped a career year for Ozzy at 74 years young.

Though he was not on-hand to accept his awards in person, Osbourne expressed his gratitude for the fans and his collaborators. “I’m one lucky motherfu**er to have won the ‘Best Rock Album’ Grammy,” said Ozzy. “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.”

Among the additional winners from the 2023 Grammys, Assassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn of Ragnarök which features progressive folk metal band Wilderun scored the prize for Best Score Soundtrack for Video Games and Other Interactive Media. Kendrick Lamar walked triumphantly, scoring wins for Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for “The Heart Part 5” and Best Rap Album for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppas.

Wet Leg also won big coming away with top honors in both the Best Alternative Music Album for their self-titled effort as well as Best Alternative Music Performance for the track, “Chaise Lounge”
