Did he bite the heads off creatures?
In an excerpt from his book Osbourne admits that he bit the head off a bat and off a dove. “But then you hear things like, `Ozzy went to the show last night, but he wouldn’t perform until he’d killed fifteen puppies…’ Now me, kill fifteen puppies? I love puppies. I’ve got eighteen of the f**king things at home….” He writes about how all the crazy stuff haunts him. “Every day of my life has been an event. I took lethal combinations of booze and drugs for thirty f**king years. I survived a direct hit by a plane, suicidal overdoes, STDs. I’ve been accused of attempted murder. Then I almost died while riding over a bump on quad bike….” He pens, “People ask me how come I’m still alive, and I don’t know what to say.”
Osbourne family books
He will join his wife, Sharon, and daughter, Kelly, as an author. Virgin Books released Kelly Osbourne’s book, Fierce in March 2009. Sharon Osbourne’s Extreme became a bestseller when it was released in October 2006.
Comments
Ozzie may be a bit crazy, but he got rich. Perhaps I should have done mine a bit different. Well, at least I had the opportunity to Play golf at the Presidio of San Francsico and eat breakfast with Joe Dimaggio. That ain't bad.
