Ozzy Osbourne tell-all book to go ahead as Sharon to make emotional statement

Before Ozzy Osbourne died last week, he had already finished an "uncensored" book about his life. The rockstar died aged 76, after a long battle with Parkinson's disease, but he made sure to put pen to paper first.

His Last Rites book is set to be his "last confessions," including details of his relationship with hairstylist Michelle Pugh, which spanned from 2012 to 2016, leaving a devastating impact on his wife, Sharon, who was left blindsided by the betrayal. She bravely revealed she attempted to end her life after learning the full extent of the affair. A source close to the publishers told the press: "This book was basically Ozzy's last confessions and contains a lot of passages about how he is sorry for the affair. As he was always brutally honest during his life, it's been decided not a word will be changed, even about painful times in his life and how his affair affected Sharon."

Another source shared that the book foreshadowed Ozzy's death as it contains his epitaph. He had joked before his death that he wanted four words carved on his gravestone: "Bats taste like s***."

They said: "This was just a joke and Ozzy wanted something a lot more profound on his gravestone. This book will reveal it."

Grieving wife Sharon is also set to have a few words in the soon-to-be-released book. She is reportedly being asked to write a foreword to the book.

An insider explained: "Sharon is made of stern stuff and the publishers know she will want to leave her fingerprint on this book. Writing its foreword will also be cathartic for her and act as a way of laying Ozzy to rest."

A blurb for the upcoming book, set to be published in October, says: "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, alongside 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."

The legend died just three weeks after he took to the stage for one last time at his hometown in Birmingham alongside his Black Sabbath bandmates, who reunited for the one and only farewell show earlier this month.
