Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography will be 'uncensored'
The iconic star died on July 22, aged 76, and his upcoming autobiography will explore the ups and downs of his life, including the cheating scandal that almost ended his marriage in 2016.
"This book was basically Ozzy's last confessions and contains a lot of passages about how he is sorry for the affair," a source told Britain's The Sun on Sunday newspaper.
"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."
The 72-year-old TV star - who married Osbourne in 1982 - is expected to write a foreword to the book, which is titled Last Rites.
"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," the source said.
The autobiography is set to be published in October. The blurb reads: "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."
Osbourne's death was announced by his family, who revealed he was "surrounded by love" when he died.
"It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love," their statement said.
Ozzy Osbourne's autobiography has been described as a "brutally honest" book containing the singer's last confessions.

Rival docos to chronicle wild life of Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne's life is set to be charted in at least two rival documentaries. The Black Sabbath frontman, who died in July at the age of 76 following a battle with Parkinson's disease, is said to be the subject of both projects that were apparently being filmed with unprecedented access to Osbourne and his family over the past three years. According to The Sun, they are set to chronicle the final months of the rock icon's wild life, with broadcasters BBC and Paramount+ thought to be racing to be the first to air their respective films. "It's looking like the BBC might just pip Paramount+ to the post. But both are keen to be the first to get them out there because they understand just how hugely popular Ozzy was and how well received these shows will be," a TV insider told The Sun. "Of course, there's an element of competition, but their main priorities are producing two shows that are respectful and that the Osbourne family approve of." Ozzy, born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham in 1948, rose to fame as the lead vocalist of Black Sabbath in the late 1960s, helping pioneer heavy metal music. He embarked on a successful solo career in the 1980s, becoming known as the 'Prince of Darkness'. His life was marked by highs and lows, including struggles with addiction, multiple health issues and a decades-long marriage to his manager and wife Sharon. Just 17 days before his death from a heart attack, Ozzy played a farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, in his hometown of Birmingham on 5 July. Paramount+ has announced its documentary, Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now is set to be "a deeply personal portrait of the rock legend's harsh new realities and his wife Sharon's battle to take the stage for one final performance". A BBC documentary on the rocker, said to have originally been titled Home to Roost, is reportedly focused on Ozzy's return to the UK after decades in Los Angeles. But according to The Sun, the broadcaster has yet to confirm a broadcast date or if the title has changed. Sony is also said to be developing a biopic about Ozzy's life, though that film is not expected to air until 2026. Ozzy's son Jack Osbourne, 39, who supported his mother Sharon at the rocker's funeral, said in a tribute to his father: "I was so lucky and blessed to be a part of a very small group that got to call him 'Dad'." "My heart is full of so much sadness and sorrow, but also so much love and gratitude. I got 14,501 days with that man and I know that is such a blessing."

World's sexiest powerlifter's wild body transformation stuns
Weightlifting fans have been left stunned by the dramatic body transformation of powerlifter Hikaru Komiyama. Better known as 'Little Beast', Komiyama has built a massive following on social media with her incredible feats of strength and pulse-racing bodybuilding posts. Fitness has been part of her life for several years and has helped her get through some testing periods of health, as The Sun reports. Also known as Ru, she is able to squat, bench and dead lift more than two, three or four times her 56kg body weight, respectively, and reflected on her incredible journey in an emotional Instagram post. Along with a side-by-side image of her years-long body transformation, she wrote: 'Left is before the ED got bad and my hair started falling out in clumps as I lost even more weight and cruised at a body weight of around 76lbs (34kg). 'Your reminder that our bodies are not a trend. 'We're not meant to look the same at our 'happy weight', where we are healthy and functioning well. 'So while some people can properly nourish their bodies and, with genetics, have a predisposition to stay incredibly lean, it may take an extreme, unsustainable diet for another. 'Lean doesn't constitute beautiful. And neither does a grumpy attitude from being hungry 24/7. 'So if you haven't already, I hope you let yourself learn your body well enough and learn what it looks like to have a physique well taken care of.' Little Beast's legion of followers commented on her inspirational post detailing her previous health battle. One commented: 'Awesome girl.' Another said: 'So incredibly proud of your journey! You always keep shining like a star.' And another said: 'Wow, girl!!!! You are amazing.' One remarked: 'A beaaassst.' Another chimed in: 'Get it, girl. Looking all mmmmm.'
