Reflecting on his extraordinary journey, Osbourne shared, “People often ask me, if you could relive your life knowing what you know now, would you change anything? My answer is a resounding no. If I had been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be the Ozzy you know today. If I had taken a more conventional path, I wouldn’t be who I am. Regardless of how it all ends, I have no regrets. I’ve traveled across the globe, experienced a wealth of moments, and engaged in both good and bad choices. However, at this moment, I’m not ready to leave this world.”

The announcement of Osbourne’s memoir, Last Rites, comes shortly after his triumphant farewell performance at the Back to the Beginning concert in his hometown of Birmingham, England. This star-studded event culminated in a memorable solo performance by Osbourne himself, alongside a reunion of the original lineup of Black Sabbath, further solidifying his legacy in the world of music.
