Osbourne’s new song features Elton John, who is part of the vocals and plays the piano in the track. The new song shows the singer sitting in a movie theater watching a film about his life through a projector.

The track shows his childhood home in Birmingham, England. The hometown also happens to be the same place he formed Black Sabbath in 1968.
