New Arrival Last Rites Osbourne Ozzy (2025)

People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? Im like, f*** no. If Id been clean and sober, I wouldnt be Ozzy. If Id done normal, sensible things, I wouldnt be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I cant complain. Ive been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. Ive done good… and Ive done bad. But right now, Im not ready to go anywhere. At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews around the world. Then disaster struck. Within a few weeks, he went from hospitalisation with a finger infection to abandoning his tour and all public life while facing near-total paralysis from the neck down. Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious and never-before-told story of Ozzys descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to Sharon, and on what it took to return to the stage 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 and surprisingly life-affirming, it shows 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.
