Ozzy Osbourne

Pimeyden prinssin elämää suuremmat paljastukset. Ozzy Osbournen jäähyväiskiertueen piti huipentaa yli puoli vuosisataa kestänyt ura. Siitä tuli katastrofi. Kiertue jäi kesken, kun Ozzy kiidätettiin sairaalaan ja hän halvaantui kaulasta alaspäin. Elämä ei ollut ensimmäistä kertaa katkolla. Yksi rockin kuuluisimmista sekopäistä on käynyt niin syvällä päihteiden maailmassa, että on impannut kokkelipäissään jopa muurahaisia uima-altaan reunalla. Ozzyn ei pitäisi olla enää edes hengissä, mutta jälleen hän selvisi. Toipuessaan hän muisteli elämänsä jyrkkiä käänteitä ja soittajakollegoitaan. Syntyi elämäkerta, joka on yhtä aikaa shokeeraavan suorapuheinen ja sysimustan huumorin täyttämä.

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.

Pimeyden prinssin elämää suuremmat paljastukset. Vuonna 2018 Ozzy Osbourne oli voitokkaalla kiertueella, jonka piti huipentaa hänen puoli vuosisataa kestänyt uransa. Esiintymisareenat täyttyivät ja kriitikot ylistivät, mutta sitten tuli katastrofi. Ozzy kiidätettiin sairaalaan ja hän lähes halvaantui. Elämä ei ollut ensimmäistä kertaa katkolla. Yksi rockin kuuluisimmista sekopäistä oli jo aiemmin käynyt niin syvällä päihteiden maailmassa, että oli impannut kokkelipäissään muurahaisia. Nyt hän jälleen kerran selvisi. Toipuessaan sairauskierteestä Ozzy muisteli elämänsä ylä- ja alamäkiä. Syntyi elämäkerta, joka on yhtä aikaa shokeeraavan suorapuheinen ja sysimustan huumorin täyttämä.

Folk frågar, om du kunde göra om allt, om du visste vad du vet idag, skulle du göra något annorlunda? Jag svarar så f*n heller. Om jag varit ren och nykter skulle jag inte varit Ozzy. Om jag gjort normala och förnuftiga saker skulle jag inte ha varit Ozzy. Vid 69 års ålder 2019 var Ozzy Osbourne på en hyllad avskedsturné, och spelade på utsålda arenor världen över. Sen kom katastrofen. På några veckor gick han från att vårdas på sjukhus för ett infekterat finger till att ställa in sin turné – och alla offentliga framträdanden – nästan helt förlamad från halsen och nedåt. Sista riterna är en chockerande och underhållande historia om Ozzys nedstigning till helvetet. Längs vägen finns reflektioner om hans makalösa liv och karriär, inklusive hans äktenskap med Sharon, och vad som krävdes för att han skulle återvända till scenen för den triumfartade heldagskonserten Back to the Beginning i Birmingham, där Ozzy några veckor före bortgången återförenades med bandkollegorna i Black Sabbath för sista gången. Med sin livsbejakande och brutala ärlighet visar boken varför Ozzy blev en folkhjälte och ikon. OZZY OSBOURNE föddes 1948 i Aston i Birmingham, och var sångare i det legendariska metalbandet Black Sabbath. Han uppnådde till och med större framgångar som soloartist. Ozzy gick bort 2025 och efterlämnade sin fru Sharon och fem barn.

69-aastane Ozzy liikus hüvastijätutuuriga võidukalt mööda maailma ringi, esinedes väljamüüdud areenidele ja nautides kõikjal kiitvaid arvustusi.Siis tabas teda katastroof.Ta pöördus sõrmeinfektsiooni pärast haiglasse ning järgmise paari nädala jooksul juhtunu tõttu tuli tal katkestada tuur ja lõpetada avaliku elu elamine, kuna peagi oli ta kaelast altpoolt suures mahus halvatud."Viimane riitus" on shokeeriv, kohutavalt naljakas ja varem rääkimata lugu Ozzy põrgusseminekust. Raamatus on ka meenutusi tema erakordsest elust ja karjäärist, sealhulgas abielust Sharoniga, ning sellest, mida tal tuli teha, et pääseda tagasi lavale ja anda kontsert "Tagasi algusesse", mida kanti üle kogu maailmas ja kus Ozzy kohtus viimast korda oma Black Sabbathi bändikaaslastega.Halastamatu, julmalt aus, kuid üllatavalt elujaatav "Viimane riitus" näitab, et Ozzy oli midagi palju rohkemat kui metal'i isa ja Pimeduse Prints ning kuidas ta muutus tänapäevaseks rahvakangelaseks ja kõigi lemmikuks.Ozzy Osbourne sündis 1948. aastal Inglismaal Birminghami linnas Astonis ja sai Black Sabbathi lauljana üheks kõige silmatorkavamaks nähtuseks rokkmuusika maailmas. Sooloartistina jõudis ta veelgi kaugemale. Ozzyst jäid maha tema abikaasa Sharon ja viis last.

If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy.Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad.

Wondering if science could explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, Ozzy Osbourne became one of a handful of people in the world to have his entire DNA mapped in 2010. It was a highly complex, $65,000 process, but the results were conclusive: Ozzy is a genetic anomaly. The "Full Ozzy Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered and the findings were presented at the prestigious TEDMED Conference in San Diego-making headlines around the world. The procedure was in part sponsored by The Sunday Times of London, which had already caused an international fururoe by appointing Ozzy Osbourne its star health advice columnist. The newpaper argued that Ozzy's mutliple near-death experiences, 40-year history of drug abuse, and extreme hypocondria qualified him more than any other for the job. The column was an overnight hit, being quickly picked up by Rolling Stone to give it a global audience of millions. In Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy, Ozzy answers reader's questions with his outrageous wit and surprising wisdom, digging deep into his past to tell the memoir-style survival stories never published before-and offer guidance that no sane human being should follow. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy will include some of the best material from his published columns, answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts, sidebars, and more.

Dr Ozzy's hilarious and surprisingly useful book of advice on health and happiness

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.

The besteslling autobiography of the Prince of F***ing Darkness!They've 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 wouldn't perform until he'd killed fifteen puppies . . .' Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I've got eighteen of the f**king things at home. I've 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. I've 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 I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd 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 wouldn't 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 ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. I've always been drawn to the dark side, me. But I ain't the devil. I'm just John Osbourne: a working-class kid from Aston, who quit his job in the factory and went looking for a good time."
