Description

The final word in sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll, heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne shares his unbelievable story for the first time in this tell-all memoir.
Theyve 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 wouldnt perform until hed killed fifteen puppies . . . Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. Ive got eighteen of the f**king things at home. Ive 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 f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoses, STDs. Ive been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on a quad bike at f**king two miles per hour.

People ask me how come Im still alive, and I dont know what to say. When I was growing up, if youd 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 sixty, which one of us would end up with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and Beverly Hills, I wouldnt have put money on me, no f**king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time.

A lot of it aint gonna be pretty. Ive done some bad things in my time. Ive always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I aint the devil. Im just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time.
