Description

Heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. Take what you thought was "rock and roll excess" and double it–you still wouldn't be anywhere near the dizzying life of Ozzy Osbourne. Born into a life so poor that the whole family slept in one room, music was his salvation, and his band Black Sabbath went on to change the musical landscape forever. But along with the rock and roll came the inevitable sex and drugs, and Ozzy soon fell into an epic relationship with booze and chemicals. The stories of Ozzy's days on the road are now those of legend–biting the head off a live bat, the tragic plane crash that took the life of his best friend and writing partner Randy Rhoades–but few know of the real heartbreak he suffered during those days of hard living. In the end, it was the love of his family that saved him. Told for the first time in the rocker’s hilarious and inimitable voice, Ozzy finally comes clean. Read more

    • Wild, hilarious, brutally honest, and unexpectedly touching—I Am Ozzy is a rock memoir like no other
Format: Kindle
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ozzy Osbourne’s I Am Ozzy isn’t just the story of a rock legend—it’s the raw, unfiltered account of a man who stumbled, screamed, snorted, and laughed his way through a life no fiction writer could make up. From his grim childhood in working-class Birmingham to fronting Black Sabbath and eventually becoming the "Prince of Darkness" and reality TV star, Ozzy lays everything bare with brutal candor and unmistakable charm. What makes this memoir shine isn’t just the insane tour stories, the drug-fueled mayhem, or the outrageous antics (though there are plenty of all three). It’s Ozzy’s voice—vulnerable, self-deprecating, and often laugh-out-loud funny. He owns his mistakes and absurdities without glamorizing them. Somehow, amidst all the chaos, there’s a surprising emotional resonance, especially when he discusses family, fame, and mortality. Ghostwritten with Chris Ayres, the writing captures Ozzy’s uniquely rambling style—at times it feels like you’re sitting in a pub with him, listening to stories that are as insane as they are unforgettable. Anecdotes like the infamous bat-biting incident, setting fire to his wife Sharon’s hotel room, or getting banned from Texas for drunkenly cross-dressing at the Alamo, are balanced by surprisingly thoughtful reflections on love, addiction, and survival. If you’re a fan of rock music, Black Sabbath, or just love a good (and completely bonkers) life story, I Am Ozzy is a must-read. It’s not just a chronicle of excess—it’s a portrait of resilience and reinvention. Somehow, against all odds, Ozzy lived to tell the tale—and thank God he did. This book is a riotous, wild-eyed journey through a one-of-a-kind life. Final Verdict: An unforgettable rollercoaster ride through hell and back—with a grin, a growl, and a heart that somehow survived it all. ... show more

Bought this right after we lost our Prince of Darkness - a legend. I keep this book on my nightstand and when I miss him I can read chapters of his life and hear his voice in my head . It keeps him alive more than just his songs . If you love Ozzy this book if for you.

    • Must own.Hilarious.Dark,sometimes sad.Insanely lucky life of Ozzy.
Forget all the negative reviews,take it from a fan of Ozzy/Sabbath,Randy Rhodes,Zakk Wylde & metal in general. If you are a fan of any of those things & have a sense of humor then this is a book for you ! In this book you will learn about Ozzy,where he was born,where & how he grew up(which was a hard life) and insight as to how Ozzy got into the path of Geezer & Bill,he went too school with Tony and they met back up years later. Insight & info about their formation and details about the band throughout the span of 8 Sabbath albums(all detailed) & why he got released from Sabbath. Then how he got a kick in the butt from Sharon to get himself going back into making music. Also how he came to know Sharon & how they got together,it gives you details about the formation of the solo band,meeting Randy Rhodes and him joining,as well as details about his tragic death. It tells you about his first wife Thelma & their children,tells about all the booze and debauchery in the daily life of Ozzy. Then there is info about lawsuits with band members,meeting Zakk and his time in jail. Playing on the road with 3 children on the bus on tour,marrying Sharon. Info about the Osbournes show,how Ozzy eventually kicked the drugs & smoking and drinking. Tells you about his tragic accident with the quad bike,plus stories about the Alamo,the infamous bat & dove biting stories as well as many others that eill have you laughing constantly. The pranks he'd pull on Bill & Tony as well as the story about,well the chapter entitled "Killing the Vicar" is hilarious. It is like your hearing Ozzy tell you the story personally,throughout the book i swear i could hear Ozzy's voice in my head telling me these insane,sometimes tragic,sometimes low & alot of good times. Experiences with the white powder,rohypnol,hashish,pot,cough syrup,amphetamines,booze,etc. The book has some interludes with alot of unseen photos as well as some really insightful stuff i never knew about Ozzy or Sabbath(like how Bloody Sabbath was recorded in a haunted mansion,while he scared the hell outta Bill) as well as memories on the road with Motley Crue,the idea of Ozzfest,Zakk Wylde. The issues with the teen suicide,the issues with PETA threats,the circumstances leading up to the mistake in choking his beloved wife Sharon. Several times he thanks her for keeping him happy,alive and going. Trust me there is so much more in this book,i could not put it down i read it in under 2 days. Trust me any fan of Ozzy or Sabbath wants & needs this book,it is an instant classic. Must own this hilarious book. ... show more
