"People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** 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."

Husband. Father. Grandfather. F*cking Icon.
1948 - 2025

In 2018, at the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world.

Then: disaster.

In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour – and all public life – as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.

LAST RITES is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, as well as his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time.

Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

Everything Ozzie rocks what a great man

Learned a lot about Ozzy through the years and it was very entertaining, I liked all the stories with the band mates and other rockers that he has met along the way and spent time with, overall I like the story.

Fitting finish

Amazing..This was a fitting farewell and allowed me to have closure to a hero of mine. God Bless Ozzy!

I couldn’t put this book down

I read this book in one sitting. Ozzy is honest, humble and he’s really funny. This is one of the best books I’ve ever read, my heart felt condolences to his amazing family.

Beautiful

Kind of like having him back for a short few hours. Beautifully written and preformed. Thank you Ozzy.

Ozzys stories.

A recap of his life was great. I've been to so many Oz fests. Awesome.

Amazing Story

I try to listen to as many of rock and roll stars memoirs put out and found this an absolutely riveting book. The last one I listened to was Alex Van Halens. What a disappointment that was. This was great and a tell all. Thank you Ozzy

Rest in peace

A man who will carry on, and left more than a footprint in this world. He left inspiration, music, a new sound and his whole being. He will be missed.

Great book

Its funny and fills in holes of the story i thought i knew. Highly recommend both of his books.

it's ozzy

I love the whole thing Ozzy is such an inspiration and a good man good speed to you Ozzy see you in heaven

The REAL Iron Man

I'm going to have to come back and edit this. However, I loved the behind the scenes of "Ordinary Man" and "Patient Number 9." How they connected to Ozzy and the ways he felt at that time or times, I do wish he went on a bit more for other tracks.

With the amount of surgeries he underwent, and more so before his time was reached. He literally became the definition of Iron Man. Because of all the rods and some cement in him. He was definitely indestructible as Sharron mentioned. Because he should have met his end a long time ago for sure. His guardian angels still believed in him and his future.

He literally held on for us for "Back to the Beginning" for one last performance. And its still ashame we can't get whatever music he was inspired by to produce for what would have been his last send off.

Thank you Ozzy for your music. You definitely changed the world.
