ABC/Randy Holmes; ABC/Image Group LAOzzy Osbourne‘s upcoming solo album Ordinary Man will feature a collaboration with Elton John, according to the heavy-metal icon’s wife, Sharon.

“He’s got all his friends playing on [the album],” Sharon said during Monday’s episode of her CBS talk show The Talk. “He’s doing a song with Elton.”

She added, “There is so much good stuff.”

Ozzy recorded Ordinary Man, his first solo effort since 2010’s Scream, with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan; the new song “Straight to Hell” features GN’R guitarist Slash.

In a new interview with ABC Audio, Smith confirms that Elton is on Ordinary Man, and adds that the album also includes guest spots from Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and chart-topping singer/rapper Post Malone, with whom Ozzy collaborated on the single “Take What You Want.”

Ordinary Man is due out early this year.
