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.

    This book creates a clear sense of Ozzy as very human, fallible individual who embraces his fallibility in a way that it very admirable and unique. His life story eclipses all the amazing music he has been a part of for half a decade.
  • I Am Ozzy - a great read

    I’ve never laughed so much! This book is an honest, hilarious, crazy, read. Ozzy does a great job at keeping everything entertaining, while still truthful.

    This was so much fun to read. I love the way that Ozz describes things and his sense of humor is untouchable. The book mostly covers his life with Sabbath and the early years and very little about the crappy show that even Ozz himself hated. All those old stories and he, Tony, Bill and Geezer back then are priceless. He also talks lots about his childhood and growing up the way he did. If you are a fan this book is required reading, if you aren't then you will still enjoy it.
