Last Rites

AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

"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.

Absolutely riveting!

It took a long time after Ozzy’s passing for me to be able to listen to any of his music without crying. I am so glad I listened to this book! Such an amazing life! Laughed out loud more time then I can count. My Mom even enjoyed listening with me😊

No Ordinary Man

The only thing that could’ve made this better was if Ozzy narrated it himself. He sure lived an amazing life! He was funny, down to earth, and this book only proves that, more so. I loved hearing the details of how the music came together, with Sabbath and his solo stuff. RIR (Rest in Rock) Ozzy!!

Rest Well, Ozzy
