ContactMusic.com is reporting that Ozzy Osbourne is desperate to record an album of acoustic ballads but record company bosses won't take him seriously unless he's the "Prince of Darkness."

The BLACK SABBATH frontman is keen to show off other aspects of his musical ability, but fears he'll have to keep recording heavy metal tunes until his dying day.

Osbourne says, "Trying to get away from the Prince of Darkness is the hardest f**king thing.

"I'd like to sing songs that are mellower. I'd like to do an acoustic album. I don't want to be screaming when I'm 60.

"But all the record company is interested in is my looking like a f**king madman with cherry juice running down my face."

I think ozzy should be able to decide what to do... but he hasn't been writing his own lyrics since he left black sabbath. They digitally mess with his voice because he can't sing anymore. I think he should just retire while hes still clinging to the edges of the top of the game.

What a crock of sh**! Ozzy can't make an acoustic album because his label won't let him? Why don't you just write, record and produce it on your own then? I'm pretty sure, being Ozzy Osbourne and one of the biggest acts on the Epic Records label, he can do what the f*** he likes.

the OZZMAN will more than likely just come out with acoustic versions of old songs. You cant blame him though. Hes getting old.
