"People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** 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." Husband. Father. Grandfather. Icon. 1948 - 2025 In 2019, at the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then: disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour – and all public life – as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. LAST RITES is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Ozzy's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, as well as his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time. Unflinching, brutally honest, but 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.

My Favorite for November was Last Rites but I picked I Am Ozzy as the first choice for this side of #BookBracket2025 @Catsandbooks

Last Rites was good but hard to read a times. It ends very close to when he died after the last concert. As usual I loved reading about his antics but a lot of the medical stuff was just painful and I didn't realize that he was in such bad shape in the end 🖤

As we wrap up Last Rites and look at the second half, what sticks out to you. Personally I loved the reflections on his final concert. Still miss him though 💜🦇💜

"That's one of the great things about getting older. You stop being as scared of showing your emotions. Because you know that if you wait too long to tell someone how much they mean to you, the chance might never come around again." Ozzy ?
What does everyone think so far and is it easier to express yourself when you're older?

TheBookHippie I like it. It‘s a bit sadder for me. Still grieving his loss I think. I‘ve always told ppl how I feel -but I‘ve been dealing with death my entire life. Perspective .. 1mo
peaKnit I need to catch up but yes, definitely easier to be honest as I get older. I don‘t care as much about what everyone thinks, it feels good to be more vulnerable. 1mo
BookwormAHN @TheBookHippie I'm still grieving his death as well. There has been a lot of death in my family but we have never really learned how to talk about our emotions, still working on it 🖤 1mo
BookwormAHN @peaKnit I think honesty is definitely easier with age 🖤 1mo

I love closure. This was perfection. I might have cried a little. But not in a bad way. A legendary exit.
