Nov. 25th, 2005 12:45 pmOzzy to write musical about Rasputin.
"It's a major achievement for me, because I've always wanted to do it," said Osbourne. "He's like the original rock star, you know? I said to myself, 'What better thing to write about?'"
Osbourne and his co-writer Mark Hudson have amassed a double album's worth of songs, in styles that vary from rock to cossack folk music.
Rasputin's story has been told many times. He has been played by, among others, Conrad Veidt, Tom Baker and Alan Rickman. But Osbourne is unlikely to play the role. "If there's an album I'll sing the part," he said, "but I don't want to go on Broadway."
