Ozzy Osbourne Reveals That His New Memoir, ‘Last Rites,’ Will Be Published This Fall

On Thursday (July 10), Ozzy Osbourne announced the upcoming release of his memoir, Last Rites, which is set to be published on October 7 by Hachette Book Group. The book promises to present a raw account of “the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne’s descent into hell.” The book will also include behind-the-scenes details of Ozzy’s final concert and the Black Sabbath reunion, as well as his recent health struggles. The memoir will also delve into Osbourne’s “turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his encounters with fellow hellraisers including Slash, Bon Scott, John Bonham and Keith Moon, (and) the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead’s Lemmy Kilmister.” Ozzy is quoted as saying in the book, “Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can’t complain. I’ve been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I’ve done good… and I’ve done bad. But right now, I’m not ready to go anywhere.” (Variety)
