Ozzy Osbourne Releasing Third Memoir 'Last Rites'

Ozzy Osbourne has announced his third memoir, 'Last Rites,' set for release on October 7, 2025, via Grand Central Publishing. The book details Osbourne's battles with serious health issues, including a thumb infection and near-total paralysis in 2018, followed by a Parkinson's disease diagnosis that ended his touring career. Osbourne also reflects on his tumultuous marriage to Sharon, encounters with rock legends such as Slash and Lemmy Kilmister, and a recent 'Back to the Beginning' farewell concert that reunited him with Black Sabbath and raised millions for charity. He candidly shares his lack of regrets about his tumultuous lifestyle, stating, 'If I’d been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy.' The memoir is described as 'shocking, bitterly hilarious, and surprisingly life-affirming.' Despite retiring from live performances, Osbourne emphasizes he is not ready to leave the stage of life.
