Ozzy Osbourne has announced a new memoir, titled “Last Rites.” Grand Central Publishing will publish the book on October 7.

“Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne’s descent into hell,” according to a description on the publisher’s website. “Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career – including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his encounters with fellow hellraisers including Slash, Bon Scott, John Bonham and Keith Moon, the harrowing final moments he spent with Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, all alongside his reflections on the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time and raised millions for charity.

Unflinching and 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.

“People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I’m like, 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. 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. But right now, I’m not ready to go anywhere,” Osbourne says about the upcoming memoir.

“Last Rites” is the third memoir/autobiography by the Black Sabbath frontman. The others are “I Am Ozzy” and its follow-up, “Trust Me, I’m Dr. Ozzy: Advice from Rock’s Ultimate Survivor.”

The book is available in hardcover book, audiobook and ebook versions to pre-order at Amazon.
