In case you didn't get enough of Ozzy earlier in the decade with the MTV reality show "The Osbournes", Ozzy has taken pen to paper and written a memoir. Sometimes a gritty rock memoir can be a kick to read, but I have a feeling that we might have already heard all of these stories a few times too many. Looking forward to reviews on this one. Book hits shelves in January 2010.

Details from the Hachette International site:
The final word in sex, drugs and rock-and-roll, I AM OZZY is the heavy metal pioneer’s unbelievable story in his own words, for the very first time.

Take what you thought was “rock and roll excess”, double it, and you still wouldn’t be anywhere near the dizzying life of Ozzy Osbourne. Born into a life so poor that the whole family slept in one room, music was his salvation, and his band Black Sabbath went on to change the musical landscape forever. But along with the rock and roll came the inevitable sex and drugs, and Ozzy soon fell into an epic relationship with booze and chemicals.

The stories of Ozzy’s days on the road are now those of legend–biting the head off a live bat, the tragic plane crash that took took the life of his best friend and writing partner Randy Rhoades–but few know of the real heartbreak he suffered during those days of hard living. The stories are all here, and for the first time, told in Ozzy’s hilarious, witty and inimitable voice. In the end it was love that saved him: the love of his wife Sharon and kids Kelly, Jack and Aimee.

In his highly anticipated memoir, Ozzy finally comes clean.
