Description: Presents a darkly comedic and occasionally disturbing look at the very odd life of the Osbournes. From Ozzy face down in a roast dinner to how Sharon turned Ozzy's attempted murder into a PR opportunity, this book also shows a drug-addled Ozzy post-Sabbath, wandering through parties bad-mouthing his group.
Synopsis: Author Mick Wall has known the Osbournes from the 1970s drug-fuelled days to their present reincarnation as media-friendly stars of popular television. And he knows all too well the difference between how things were and how the Osbournes appear now. Written by an insider, we see the bizarreness of their rock and roll everyday life as never before - from being managed by your wife, to trying to kill your wife, starting up your own rock festival and having you life chronicled on MTV. We see a drug-addled Ozzy post-Sabbath, wandering through parties bad-mouthing his group, and Sharon's hard work and wiley tactics behind her promotion of Ozzy and reinvention of herself, even moving continents to do so. Meanwhile, in the background, are friends, celebrities and the rock and roll lifestyle, from a stag party with Phil Lynnot to a visit to Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs. Osbournes Confidential is affectionate, darkly comedic and occasionally disturbing by turns and a not-to-be missed look at this controversial couple.
