Ozzy Osbourne’s ultimate memoir, Final Rites, will probably be posthumously launched on October seventh through Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Ebook Group. Pre-orders are ongoing right here.
The information comes on the heels of Ozzy’s passing on Tuesday, July twenty second on the age of 76. The e-book finds Osbourne reflecting on his later years and well being struggles, in addition to his ultimate efficiency on the “Again to the Starting” live performance, which passed off simply three weeks earlier than his passing.
“Folks say to me, should you may do all of it once more, understanding what you understand now, would you alter something? I’m like, f*** no,” reads a quote attributed to Ozbourne on the writer’s web site. “If I’d been clear and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. If I’d executed regular, smart issues, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can’t complain. I’ve been all all over the world. Seen a whole lot of issues. I’ve executed good… and I’ve executed unhealthy. However proper now, I’m not able to go anyplace.”

The writer’s description of the memoir reads:
“On the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, enjoying to sold-out arenas and rave evaluations all all over the world.
Then, catastrophe.
In a matter of just some weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger an infection to having to desert his tour—and all public life—as he confronted near-total paralysis from the neck down.
Final Rites is the surprising, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne’s descent into hell. Alongside the best way, he displays on his extraordinary life and profession – together with his turbulent marriage to spouse Sharon, his encounters with fellow hellraisers together with Slash, Bon Scott, John Bonham and Keith Moon, the harrowing ultimate moments he spent with Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, all alongside his reflections on the triumphant Again to the Starting live performance, streamed all over the world, the place Ozzy reunited together with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the ultimate time and raised hundreds of thousands for charity.”
Final Rites marks Ozzy’s third main memoir/autobiography following 2010’s I Am Ozzy and its extra comedic follow-up, 2011’s Belief Me, I’m Dr. Ozzy: Recommendation from Rock’s Final Survivor.
