Ozzy Osbourne has announced plans to release his first album in almost three years this summer.

‘Scream’, which is due out on June 15, was recorded at the singer’s Los Angeles home studio.

Osbourne co-wrote most of the tracks with Churko, and the album also includes the first appearance from new guitarist Gus G.

Meanwhile, the first single to be taken from the record, ‘Let Me Hear You Scream’, received its premiere on CSI:NY last night.

Osbourne is also expected to announce details of an 18-month world tour in the coming weeks.
