38 Special, the classic southern rock band behind worldwide hits such as “Hold On Loosely” and “Caught Up In You,” have announced their new album, Milestone, will be released on September 19.

In celebration of the band’s 50th anniversary, their first new music in over 20 years features guests and co-writes with Pat Monahan and Randy Bachman, and longtime collaborator Jim Peterik.

Along with the announcement, 38 Special shared the lead single, “All I Haven’t Said,” and an accompanying music video, which nods to the melody-driven bands that came before them.

“That’s my throwback to the ’60s, inspired by bands like the Searchers,” says frontman and co-founder Don Barnes, who produced the album alongside Peterik. “I’ve always loved that jangling guitar sound and what’s old is new again. We just inject more power guitars to it.”

Formed in 1974 the band have 20 million albums sold to their credit.

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.
