Ozzy had just released his latest album, Ozzmosis, on Oct. 24, 1995, and was touring in support of the LP. Mason, a talented singer influenced by Humble Pie's Steve Marriott, had been doing session work in Los Angeles for Grammy-winning producer Keith Olsen, who co-produced Ozzy’s 1988 disc No Rest for the Wicked. Olsen also had produced hard-rock combo Lynch Mob’s 1992 self-titled album, which featured Mason on vocals. “So apparently what happened prior to that, to the best of my knowledge, was Sharon was calling around to producers asking who would fit the bill,” Mason says now. “And two or three out of the four calls she made, my name came up.”
Mason called Sharon back to let her know he wanted the job. A few weeks later, he was in Stockholm for his first soundcheck, looking at “the big black tent.” He doesn’t remember being told before then that he’d actually be doing his singing offstage.
