Primarily known as Billy Idol's rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years – alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens – the track is the lead single from the rocker’s April 19 new solo album, “The Morrison Project.”
"I was in the same room as Billy and Steve," says Ozzy about co-writing the song. "The lyrics just came out of the blue. It was written in about 20 minutes."
"The music was a direct result of sitting in a room with Steve, both with de-tuned guitars, and writing what we felt was an ultimate Ozzy riff,” adds Morrison. “From there, we brought Ozzy over, and we all sat around working on the lyrics, but 90% of those came from Ozzy himself. He's the one that suddenly stood up and sang "Like Crack Cocaine"!! We looked at each other and knew we had the title!!"
"Crack Cocaine" marks the first new song with Ozzy on vocals since the 2022 release of his album, “Patient Number 9”, which earned him two Grammy Awards ("Best Rock Album," "Best Metal Performance").
