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

    • excellent storyteller
Format: Kindle
I’ve been an Ozzy fan since the beginning, and Black Sabbath too. So of course I’m destined to enjoy this book. But Ozzy is a great story teller and this book is very entertaining. It feels honest and real. I’m looking forward to reading the next one.

    • 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

    • RIP Ozzy
Format: Kindle
Great book. Very Ozzy, funny, honest, shocking (but not). My first Rock concert was Black Sabbath I was 13, tickets were like $3.00. We piled into the back of our friend’s pick-up truck and headed to the concert. Loved the show The Osbourne’s. Already missing Ozzy.

    • Crazy! But That's How It Goes.
I Am Ozzy is a quick and fun read. Ozzy goes for a conversational and light tone as he tells his hilarious road stories, but like some recent rock and roll autobiographies that I've recently read (Slash & The Heroin Diaries), Ozzy devotes an over-proportionate amount of time going over and over his alcohol and drug abuse. I was afraid that the book might turn into a dissertation about what happens when you become an addict, then hypocritically preach to the reader about staying off drugs. And sure, Ozzy spent a lot of time recounting his drug and alcohol induced escapades, but he NEVER preached. On the contrary, he couldn't care less what the reader did with his stories of mayhem while being wasted out of his mind. The first two-thirds of the book are the most fun and contain the most amounts of laugh out loud moments. And I mean laugh out loud; I'd be sitting on a plane with my Kindle and suddenly break out laughing like a madman. You'd have thought I was Ozzy based on some of the looks that I got. Ozzy starts by talking us through his life leading up to Black Sabbath; you might think this to move a bit slowly, but it doesn't because of how interesting it was to hear about the development of one of the world's most renowned rock & roll bands. Plus, if you're an Ozzy fan like me, the anticipation of already knowing what it's all leading up to keeps the pages turning at a quick pace. The book is a treat once Ozzy gets into the story of Black Sabbath and the crazy and comical stories that occurred during this period. Ozzy spends a deserved portion of the book on the pre-Black Sabbath and Black Sabbath era. Ozzy finishes off the first two-thirds of the book with the demise of Sabbath and the start of his solo career over the first two records (Blizzard of Ozz & Diary of a Madman). The combination of this being only a 3 year period and Ozzy's limited ability to remember much due to his alcohol and drug abuse make this part of the book relatively and sadly too short. Nevertheless, it is a part of the book that is filled with classic, comical and of course one of the most tragic moments. The last third of the book is primarily devoted to Ozzy's rise to worldwide star-status through MTV's The Osbournes, his continuing accounts of drug abuse and alcoholism, and his eventual road to a cleaner way of life. Unlike the first two-thirds of the book, little time or mention is made of the making of his subsequent records and how he recruited the personnel for his new band(s). I would have liked to have seen more on his road escapades with Zakk Wylde versus the amount of time he took to talk about the day to day filming of The Osbournes. Anyway, I Am Ozzy is a good, funny read and I'd recommend it to Ozzy fans and casual readers alike. Here's a funny story that's not included in Ozzy's book: In early 2010 while Ozzy was appearing on The Howard Stern Show to promote the book, Howard recounted a section early on in the book about how the members of Black Sabbath would send women up to Ozzy's hotel room while the band was out on the road. Howard said, "Man, that must have been cool to have all those women." Ozzy said in his mumbled way, "No, that never happened. No one sent me women." Howard said, "But Ozzy it's right here in your book. Have you read your own book?" Ozzy said quite simply, "No." Laughter erupts in the studio. The guy really is crazy. ... show more
