Ergebnis für "Ozzy Osbourne" in Biografien & Erinnerungen

»Im Laufe der Jahre ist allerhand verrücktes Zeug über mich erzählt worden: ›Er hat einer Fledermaus den Kopf abgebissen.‹ Stimmt. ›Er hat einer Taube den Kopf abgebissen.‹ Stimmt auch. Aber dann hörst du Sachen wie: ›Ozzy kam gestern Abend zum Auftritt, aber er wollte erst auf die Bühne, nachdem er fünfzehn Hundewelpen getötet hatte …‹ Fünfzehn Welpen töten? Ich? Ich liebe Welpen. Diese Geschichten verfolgen mich. Jeder Tag meines Lebens war ein Ereignis. Dreißig verfluchte Jahre lang genehmigte ich mir jeden Tag eine tödliche Kombination aus Hochprozentigem und Drogen.

Mit 69 Jahren war Ozzy Osbourne auf einer triumphalen Abschiedstournee, spielte vor ausverkauften Stadien und erhielt begeisterte Kritiken auf der ganzen Welt. Dann das Desaster. Innerhalb weniger Wochen musste er nach einem Krankenhausaufenthalt wegen einer Fingerinfektion seine Tournee – und sein gesamtes öffentliches Leben – aufgeben, da er vom Hals abwärts fast vollständig gelähmt war.

People ask me how come I'm still alive, and I don't know what to say. When I was growing up, if you'd have put me up against a wall with the other kids from my street and asked me which one of us was gonna make it to the age of 60, with five kids and four grandkids and houses in Buckinghamshire and California, I wouldn't have put money on me, no f--king way. But here I am: ready to tell my story, in my own words, for the first time. A lot of it ain't gonna be pretty. I've done some bad things in my time. But I ain't the devil.

At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. 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.

By rights, Ozzy Osbourne should not be alive. He spent forty years on a hell-raising, bat-biting, ant-snorting*, drink and drug-fuelled bender. He broke his neck going two miles an hour on a quad bike and died twice in a chemically induced coma. And yet - at 62 years old - he is healthier and happier than ever. He is a walking medical miracle. So who better to offer the public medical advice and support?

The incredible, frank and moving autobiography by the Prince of F***ing Darkness! Has there ever been a more extraordinary rock-star story than Ozzy Osbourne's? Born into a life so poor that the whole family slept in one room, Ozzy endured a tough upbringing. Music was his salvation, and his band Black Sabbath went on to change the music scene forever.

Sharon Osbourne has lived in her own words "fifty lives in fifty years". As the daughter of notorious rock manager Don Arden, Sharon's childhood was a chaotic mix of glamour and violence, villains and diamonds. In rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, yet Ozzy's drug- and alcohol-fuelled excesses which culminated in his attempt to strangle her made their marriage a white-knuckle ride from the start; only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive.

As pessoas me perguntam como eu ainda estou vivo, e eu não sei o que dizer. Quando eu estava crescendo, se você me colocasse contra uma parede com os outros garotos da minha rua e me perguntasse qual de nós chegaria aos sessenta anos, com cinco filhos e quatro netos e casas em Buckinghamshire e Califórnia, eu não teria apostado dinheiro em mim – de jeito nenhum. Mas aqui estou eu: pronto para contar minha história, com minhas próprias palavras.
