Ozzy Osbourne's 'uncensored' final autobiography to be published months after death - with wife Sharon 'set to write emotional foreword'
's final and most revealing autobiography will be published later this year in October. The book, titled Last Rites, was completed shortly before Ozzy passed awa yaged 76 and offers fans an unfiltered look into the highs and lows of his life, including the infamous affair that nearly destroyed his marriage to Sharon Osbourne. It has been reported that the memoir will deep dive into the Black Sabbath frontman's 2012–2016 relationship with hairstylist Michelle Pugh. At the time, the revelation rocked his marriage, and Sharon, then 63, was left blindsided and heartbroken. Speaking about the pain it caused, Sharon later revealed in an emotional interview that the betrayal pushed her to attempt to take her own life. She confessed: 'I took, I don't know how many pills.' 'I just thought, 'my kids are older, they are fine and can take care of themselves.'' Ozzy's book doesn't shy away from this dark chapter. In fact, it is thought a large portion of the memoir is dedicated to the guilt and remorse he felt over the affair, and how it nearly cost him everything. A source told The Sun: '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.' Despite the deeply personal content, Last Rites is also expected to be a celebration of Ozzy's iconic legacy. Described as 'unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming,' the book will span everything from his wild years with Black Sabbath, to his battle with addiction, to his final return to the stage for his globally streamed Back to the Beginning concert, which reunited him with his original bandmates. It has also been rumoured that Sharon will be asked to write a foreword for the book. Although it is still early days in terms of Sharon's grieving process, it is thought she has agreed in principle to write the book's foreword. The source continued: '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.' MailOnline has contacted book publishers Sphere, Little Brown Book Company and Hachette for comment. The memoir's cover has already been unveiled, showing a prayerful Ozzy with his hands held up to his face, and the design echoes the book's tone – part confession, part celebration, and part farewell. Throughout the book, Ozzy reflects on the chaos and triumphs of his life with characteristic bluntness and humour. In one particularly poignant moment, he writes: 'People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy.' He adds, 'Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere.' On Wednesday, MailOnline revealed that an air ambulance was called to Osbourne's multi-million-pound country home as paramedics battled to save his life. The Thames Valley air ambulance landed in a field close to Welders House, the singer's Grade II listed mansion on Tuesday morning at around 10.30am. The crew were airborne for around 15 minutes before landing in the grounds of the mansion and were then with Ozzy for around two hours, trying but failing to save his life, it's understood. Ozzy was born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, and dropped out of school at the age of 15. After serving two months in prison for burglary, he decided to pursue his love of music and by 1970 Black Sabbath had gained a huge following in the US and UK with the release of their first album. Ozzy quit the band in 1978 and divorced his first wife Thelma Mayfair, who he had two children with, four years later, amid his ongoing substance abuse problems. He went on to marry second wife Sharon Osbourne, who helped him transform into a successful solo artist and the couple had three children together. Ozzy gained a whole new audience of fans with the family's reality TV show The Osbournes in 2001.

Lidl to sell £7.99 dupe of £29.50 Marks & Spencer essential that is perfect for summer holidays
LIDL is selling a £7.99 dupe of a £29.50 Marks & Spencer essential that is perfect for summer holidays. Shoppers can find a trendy pair of sandals from the middle of the aisle for just a fraction of the price of the original version from M&S. Whether you're planning to stroll the streets of a sunny destination or simply want something to slip your feet into on the way to the pool, these shoes are worth the investment. The Esmara Ladies' Brown Sandals will be available for just £7.99 from Lidl. Product details These leather mules from LWG-certified tanneries have moulded footbeds for extra comfort. These EVA soles are also lightweight to ensure all day wear without issue. And the shoe straps also feature buckles for an easily adjusted fit. These sandals are available in women's sizes four through 7.5. Shoppers can find these from the Lidl middle aisle from Sunday, July 27. M&S version A similar version is available at Marks & Spencer for a slightly higher price. The Suede Buckle Footbed Mules are available for £29.50, in both black and khaki. "Add some luxe texture to your favourite sunny day looks with these suede mules," said the product description. Primark's new £10 summer top is the perfect & Other Stories dupe "The easy slip-on design features comfy footbeds set on practical low heels for all-day comfort." Manufacturers described the shoes as "effortlessly stylish" and "easy-to-wear". These shoes are available in women's sizes three through eight. The sandals have received an average rating of 4.6 stars out of five from M&S customers. Shoppers confirmed that the shoes fit true to size. Hottest fashion trends of 2025 Fabulous' Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend shares the biggest trends from the high street. The East/West Bag Baguette bags have had a good run, after returning from the 1990s' shoulders of Sarah Jessica Parker to modern-day fashion icons, like Hailey Bieber. In 2025, the East/West bag is a similar but elongated shape and has long, thin straps that are easy to throw over your shoulder. They've been on runway models' arms at nearly ever designer show - think Burberry, Givenchy and Bottega Veneta - and are hitting the high street now, too. Powder pink Bright fuchsia pink had its day after the release of Barbie in 2023 and now the more polished and expensive-looking pale shade is taking over for 2025. Pantone may say that it's the year of Mocha Mousse, but the catwalks say otherwise! From Prada to Erdem, the subtle look was all over the spring/summer catwalks, worn head-to-toe or on its own. If the sugary shade is too girly for you, then look to sharp suiting for a androgynous take on the colour. The shell jacket The '80s classic is back, but with a sleek and minimal new twist for 2025. We all know we're likely to see rain for most of spring, so your practical coat of choice should be a cagoule jacket. Depop revealed one of its big trend predictions for this year is retro sportswear, with surges already seen in '80s windbreakers'. Seen everywhere from the stylish streets of Copenhagen to the Miu Miu catwalk, now mums who have an emergency raincoat crumpled underneath their pushchair are very much in fashion! The turn-up jeans While the shape of jeans remains the same for this year and barrel-legs will still be everywhere, the way we're styling them is different. This season, transform your wide-leg, baggy denims into turn-ups. For this look, size doesn't matter, so while deep turn-ups are a hit from jean trend-leaders Citizens of Humanity, a slight fold is still just as good - but only as it's just one single fold. Peep-toe shoe Get your pedicures booked in sharpish, as this season your toes are the main event. After a long hiatus, the peep-toe has been welcomed back into the fashion fold, with brands like Hermes, Miu Miu and Tory Burch showing plain and embellished footwear in this style. From mules to pumps and clogs (yes, clogs will be around too!), there are lots of different styles that are set to sweep the high street. Sheer blouses See-through looks have always lived on the catwalk, but have rarely filtered into everyday life - until now. Designers Ralph Lauren and Tom Ford loved sheer looks on their S/S '25 catwalks and M&S even had sellout success with its black sheer pencil skirt last season. Expect to see more sheer looks lining supermarket aisles and high street shops in the form of skirts, tops and frocks. More on fashion buys Plus, the £12 jeans available from Sainsbury's, they're perfect for summer and autumn. Another Sainsbury's fashion buy looks fresh out of the 1920s. The retailer also has a £26 dress that shoppers say is perfect for summer getaways. And an £11 Tesco dress that works "year round" and is super flattering around the arms. Another Tesco printed midi dress is available for £12, it disguises your tummy and is perfect for summer.

The beautiful spot on my Grand Tour that left me speechless
Arriving in Venice by train feels like an entrance through a stage door. First comes the shipping town of Marghera, a behind-the-scenes tangle of scaffolding, gantries and harlequin-coloured containers. Then the metal and grime are rinsed away by the lagoon, and from the water ascend domes and towers like painted scenery on hidden props. I can see why Grand Tourists were so keen to get to La Serenissima — as I had been four hours earlier, fleeing the classical solemnity of Rome. Venice offered sensual release; a place to wear masks and play out comedies and tragedies. After drinking heavily in taverns, aristos were reeled into gambling dens, or ridotti, where they squandered inheritances and fell into the consoling arms of courtesans. In 1730 Charles Stanhope, later the 4th Earl of Chesterfield, complained that his brother had 'spent a great deal of money on a Venetian woman, whom he thought in love with him'. I emerge from Santa Lucia railway station and take a water taxi to Casino di Venezia, the world's oldest casino, founded in 1638. A red carpet runs from the jetty on the Grand Canal to the VIP wing in Ca' Vendramin Calergi, a Renaissance palace once home to Wagner. I store my suitcase at the coat check, pay a £40 entry fee and pass suits of armour before entering a salon of old-world glamour — cut-glass chandeliers, time-softened brocade, Italians in spiffy suits and gowns crowding round green baize. I whip out my phone. 'No pictures,' a doorman snaps ( I've never gambled, but I'm determined to act the part, so I strut to a roulette table and slide into a seat. The croupier looks at me and raises an eyebrow. 'It's my first time,' I say. The croupier raises both eyebrows. I slide my only chip, €100, onto red. • Jack Ling's Grand Tour part one: The most unusual way to see Paris As the ball clatters I feign indifference, adjusting cufflinks I've forgotten to put on. It lands: red. Elated, I go again: black — win. Red? Another win. Onlookers gather as my chip stack grows. A man in a velvet jacket claps me on the shoulder. I feel like a million ducats. Now I'm about £600 up — and cocky. 'I'll put it all on black,' I announce. 'Tutto?' the croupier asks. I meet his gaze. 'Tutto.' Spin, rattle … red. There is a collective groan. Head hung, I make for the jetty and hail a water taxi to the lido. The driver says that it will cost £100. I briefly consider swimming back, then pay up. The next morning I wake at the Hotel Excelsior to sea views framed by a Moorish arch — an orientalist flourish born of Venice's fascination with the East, kindled by Marco Polo's 13th-century travels. Today the hotel is quiet, but during the Venice Film Festival it teems with actors, who in Grand Tour days ranked low on the social ladder — somewhere between jesters and lepers. They arrive in water taxis at the hotel's private pier, from where I'm departing for St Mark's Square. Fifteen minutes later I'm passing shops of gilded carnival masks, synonymous with Venetian romance but once worn by noblemen waging bloody vendettas. I eat superb sea bream at Ristorante Marco Polo, where gondoliers slump at tables like extras between takes (mains from £16; • Jack Ling's Grand Tour part two: The off-piste way to see the Alps Then it's onwards to Santa Maria Formosa Square, which is dotted with painters touching up vedute, Venetian landscapes popularised by Canaletto in the 18th century. Like proto-Instagrammers, Grand Tourists hung vedute in cabinet rooms to flex on their friends. They also coveted selfies — Pompeo Batoni painted more than 200 milords, some of them dressed in 'exotic' costume: the scholar Richard Payne Knight was partial to a toga; the Cornish aristocrat Francis Basset preferred Turkish robes. This is why I've slipped into a photo studio in the Cannaregio district, where the owner, Leontine Hamer, squeezes me into breeches and a frock coat. She is transforming me into Casanova, the 18th-century Venetian who, like me, gambled, impersonated nobility and was cursed with great beauty. As Hamer snaps me against a veduta-style backdrop, I borrow poses from the nude male model I'd drawn in Rome (from £65; • Jack Ling's Grand Tour part three: A novel way to see Rome I reluctantly peel off the costume afterwards. Some Grand Tourists never did — swallowing up young aristocrats, Venice once spat out 'macaroni', the sneering nickname for those who returned to Britain in foppish Italian dress. This polyester patrician is about to be humbled. I've been invited for espresso with the author and hostess Servane Giol, an expert on Venice who has offered to point me towards its lesser-known places. Buzzed through an unmarked door near Ponte dell'Accademia, I enter a palazzo of stone walls washed in chiaroscuro light. We sit on a terrace above the canal, my Casanova photo tucked away in my pocket like a filthy secret. • 18 of the best hotels in Venice I'm asked about my travels by Giol, who is cultivated and graceful, so everything a Grand Tourist aspires to become. I admit that I'm exhausted by all the prancing and vice. 'Go to San Lazzaro degli Armeni,' she says, her voice smooth as Murano glass (it's an island monastery in the lagoon where Lord Byron went to scrub his soul clean). We finish our drinks and I bottle a courtly hand-kiss as I leave. The next morning I board a violin on water: a 1970s mahogany speedboat (tours from £520 for eight; The city retreats as my driver, Matteo, opens the throttle. Ahead, a bell tower points heavenward, a mute promise of absolution. 'Welcome to Byron island!' Matteo chirps. For once I'm speechless, overwhelmed by the beauty of it all. I step into water-lapped stillness — a monastery of Istrian stone cloistered among gently swaying palm trees. Monks in black cassocks drift through sun-scorched arches next to a garden where roses are grown for jam. I follow them towards the onion-domed campanile, entering a chapel of blue tilework and stained glass. Standing at the altar, I feel so spiritually awake that I might start speaking in tongues — or Armenian, which Byron studied here for six months in 1816 with the monks, Mekhitarists who have lived on the island since a Venetian decree in 1717. The poet's stay threatened to reform him, inspiring what he called 'conviction that there is another, better world, even in this life' (tours £9pp; +39 0415260104). *24 of the best things to do in Venice I return to the moor pier as night falls like a velvet curtain on my time in Venice.
