Ozzy Osbourne Will Administer His Own ‘Last Rites’ in Brutally Honest New Memoir
“I ain’t dead yet — but I wanna be the one who writes the final word.” – Ozzy Osbourne
Brace yourselves, rockers. The bat-biting, curse-slinging, Sabbath-spawning madman of metal is back with one last story to tell — his own. That’s right. Ozzy Osbourne is preparing to drop a new memoir titled Last Rites, and this time, it’s personal. Real personal. 💀📚
This ain’t just your usual rock autobiography full of glitz and gigs. This is Ozzy’s last rites, his spiritual send-off, his no-holds-barred confession booth of a book — and it promises to be one hell of a read. Buckle up. 🛐🤘
⚠️ What’s the Book About?
Unlike his earlier memoir (I Am Ozzy, released in 2010 and still one of the funniest, filthiest music autobiographies out there), Last Rites focuses heavily on the darker side of Ozzy’s twilight years.
We’re talking:
- Parkinson’s diagnosis
- Spinal surgery setbacks
- Tour cancellations
- A literal fall in 2019 that dislodged metal rods in his back from a previous ATV accident 😵💫
- Depression, chronic pain, and battling the brutal reality of aging
But through all of this, Ozzy’s signature snarl and humour haven’t gone anywhere. He’s still the same Brummie wildman we’ve loved for five bloody decades, and he wants you to hear the truth straight from the horse’s (or should we say bat’s?) mouth. 🐴🦇
✍️ No Ghostwriters. No Filter. All Ozzy.
One of the wildest revelations? Ozzy’s determined to write this one himself.
While I Am Ozzy was ghostwritten with help from Chris Ayres, this new memoir will be rawer, more emotional, and more unfiltered than anything he’s done before. He’s reportedly scribbling, voice recording, and even dictating when the arthritis and tremors kick in.
His son Jack Osbourne teased that the process has been “cathartic, chaotic, and occasionally unprintable,” while Sharon said in a recent interview, “He wants to leave his version of events behind. No edits. No PR spin. Just Ozzy being Ozzy.”
So expect foul-mouthed fury, drug-fuelled tales, and more F-bombs than the BBC could bleep in a decade. 🗯️
🖤 The Dark Chapters: Death, Decline & Defiance
Ozzy hasn’t shied away from saying the end is on his mind. And who could blame him?
Years of touring, addiction, and serious medical issues have taken their toll. In 2023, he cancelled his appearance at Power Trip Festival, admitting with a heavy heart:
“My body is telling me it’s time to face reality.”
It’s not just a physical battle. Ozzy’s been open about his mental health, too. He’s spoken of depression, suicidal thoughts, and the struggle of going from Prince of Darkness to practically housebound. 💔
But Last Rites isn’t just a funeral dirge — it’s a war cry. It’s Ozzy fighting for control of his story before the world writes it for him.
🎸 A Look Back at a Life Like No Other
Let’s not forget who we’re talking about here.
- Frontman of Black Sabbath – the band that invented heavy metal, mun!
- Solo career madness – from Crazy Train to No More Tears
- MTV’s first rock reality TV star – The Osbournes kicked off a whole genre of celebrity chaos
- Endless controversies – biting a bat, urinating on the Alamo, cursing like a demon on national telly
Ozzy has done it all. And somehow — somehow — he’s still standing. Last Rites will reportedly reflect on the madness and mayhem, but also the love and loyalty that kept him going. That means plenty about:
- 🖤 His marriage to Sharon (and all its ups, downs, and headbutts)
- 🧠 His kids and their battles with addiction
- 🧎 His spirituality — yeah, Ozzy gets deep too sometimes, butt!
📅 When’s It Coming Out?
There’s no confirmed release date just yet, but insiders reckon Last Rites could hit shelves in early 2026, lining up with Ozzy’s rumoured final studio album.
Publishers are already fighting over it, and pre-orders are expected to sell faster than Sabbath reunion tickets at Download. 📦🔥
Oh, and word is there might be a special edition featuring handwritten lyrics, family photos, and (brace yourself)… a vial of Ozzy’s own blood? Only in rock’n’roll, mun.
🎤 The Final Word from the Madman Himself
“I’ve cheated death more times than I can count. This book is me saying thanks, sorry, and f*** off — all at once.”
Classic Ozzy. 🖕🦇

⚰️ Final Thoughts (But Not Too Final…)
Last Rites isn’t about saying goodbye — it’s about taking the mic one last time and screaming his truth into the void. If anyone’s earned the right to write their own ending, it’s the Prince of Darkness himself. 🕶️
So here’s to the legacy, the lunacy, and the legend of Ozzy Osbourne. He’s lived louder, loved harder, and outlasted the odds.
And now, he’s ready to go out with a bang — not a whimper. 💥
