Ozzy Osbourne’s Tell-All Book Coming Next Month

[Tig***]

Should be interesting and funny. I wonder who remembered most of the stories, since he was so wasted most of the time?

Ozzy Osbourne is promising that his new tell-all autobiography will be “frank, fearless, and very funny.” Scheduled to hit U.K. bookstores on October 1, with stateside publication soon to follow, I Am Ozzy aims to separate myth from truth with regard to the singer’s colorful career.
Ozzy himself offered a preview with the following tidbits, posted on his website on Wednesday:

"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 them 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 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 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 60, 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 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."

Whoever had to transcribe all his interviews probably has a hearing disability now. Sounds like an interesting read though.
