“A raw, unfiltered look at the man behind the madness — and a must-read for lifelong fans.”
I grew up hearing my dad play
Black Sabbath, so Ozzy’s voice has always been part of the soundtrack of my life. By the time I got my own copy of
Blizzard of Ozz, I was completely hooked — and I’ve followed him ever since. Last Rites feels like sitting down with the legend himself, listening to him tell stories only he could tell.
The book is wild, hilarious, and brutally honest — just like Ozzy. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything: the highs, the lows, the chaos, the addictions, the triumphs. What surprised me most was how much heart there is beneath all the madness. You really get a sense of the man behind the “Prince of Darkness” persona — the humor, humility, and even vulnerability that’s kept him so loved for decades.
If you grew up on
Sabbath riffs and
solo-era Ozzy anthems, this book hits differently. It’s nostalgic and gritty, full of behind-the-scenes moments that remind you why he’s such a legend. Sure, it rambles sometimes — but so does Ozzy when he talks, and honestly, that’s part of the charm.
Last Rites is more than just a rock biography — it’s a journey through a lifetime of noise, chaos, and heart. For fans like me who’ve been along for the ride since childhood, it feels like coming full circle.
Long live the Prince of Darkness. 🖤🤘
