Andrew Watt said some songs were made for a specific project and recalled spending Ozzy Osbourne’s last evening with him before the farewell concert.
- Producer Andrew Watt confirmed he and the late Ozzy Osbourne recorded unreleased music, reviewing the tracks together one day before Osbourne's final "Back to the Beginning" concert in Birmingham in July 2025.
- Watt, who produced Osbourne's 2020 album Ordinary Man and 2022's Patient Number 9, credited the metal icon for launching his career: "If Ozzy Osbourne chose you, he gave you a career."
- Following those solo projects, Osbourne suggested a final Black Sabbath album featuring original drummer Bill Ward, but the project collapsed after Ward was unable to participate.
