"They’ve said some crazy things about me over the years. I mean, okay: 'He bit the head off a bat.' Yes. 'He bit the head off a dove.' Yes. But then you hear things like, 'Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn’t perform until he’d killed fifteen puppies…' Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I’ve got eighteen of the fucking things at home. I’ve killed a few cows in my time, mind you. And the chickens. I shot the chickens in my house that night.
It haunts me, all this crazy stuff. Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty fucking years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. I've been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at fucking two miles per hour.
People ask me how come I’m still alive, and I don’t know what to say. When I was growing up, if you’d have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldn’t have put money on me, no fucking way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time.
A lot of it ain’t gonna be pretty. I’ve done some bad things in my time. I’ve always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain’t the devil. I’m just John Osbourne: a working class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time."
Frank, fearless, and very funny, I AM OZZY is his highly anticipated autobiography, in which Ozzy comes clean: in all senses.
Ozzy Osbourne was born in Aston, Birmingham in 1948. He has sold over a hundred million records both with Sabbath and as an award-winning solo artist. He has five children and lives with his wife Sharon in California and Buckinghamshire.
I AM OZZY will be released Oct 1st, 2009 in the UK with a US release coming soon.

THANK YOU!
How awesome Ozzy has an autobiography coming to a book shelf near me! It probably has so many things in it I shouldn't know! But I will !!!!!! And to think the only autobiography I was looking forward to reading this year was Mellissa Gillbert's! HAAA! I feel dumb now, but so happy!
Interesting new..........

viva ozzy
Ok, We are in
Waitting for it so badly
I CANNOT WAIT!
I am so glad I ordered my copy from the UK version of Amazon dot com. This is very cool. I can't wait to hear Ozzy in his own words. By the same token, I hope Jack will get a really top quality film done for his father also, whenever it is time for it to arrive - it's something I want to see big time. Especially because it is his son presenting Ozzy and that's so special.
I'm sure there are tons of things that Ozzy has done that are not very pretty, things he would not choose and could not do today but he did do in the day. Ozzy was one of the original wild-men of rock and roll. With no limits and every temptation he dove right in, lifting that middle finger to anyone who got covered with the foam from his dive and started b****ing.
Right on Ozzy. It's a much awaited book.
And f*** ALL YOU A$$HOLE SPAMMERS PRETENDING TO BE ADVERTISERS WITH YOUR BLATANT DISRESPECT FOR OZZY ON THIS SITE. Grow the f*** up.
Damn, seems like the Administrator is asleep at the job. I am forever flagging posts.
Autobiography
