Even though Ozzy Osbourne is no longer playing live, that doesn’t mean that he will stop being an artist. The new memoir “Last Rites” by The Prince of Darkness will be published on October 7. “Last Rites” is Osbourne‘s second memoir, after “I Am Ozzy” from 2009. You may preorder it right now. Below is a short trailer for the memoir. The book will go into detail on Osbourne‘s numerous health problems over the years, including the Parkinson’s disease he disclosed in 2020, which finally compelled him to stop touring. However, “Last Rites” will also shed light on Osbourne‘s tumultuous marriage to Sharon, his manager and wife, as well as his life and career, including the planning of the “Back to the Beginning” farewell event. Osbourne, one of the most recognizable characters in rock history, has hung around with almost every rock and metal artist in existence. As a result, “Last Rites” will also include tales of his encounters with people like Bon Scott, John Bonham, and Keith Moon, as well as his last moments with Lemmy Kilmister, the late leader of Motorhead and occasional collaborator, who passed away in 2015.
People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I’m like, fuck no. If I’d been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. If I’d done normal, sensible things, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. 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.
