Osbournes Confidential by Mick Wall
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.
Mick Wall has been a rock journalist since 1977 and currently writes for Mojo, Guitar World, Classic Rock and several other newspapers and magazines around the world. He has also worked in music public relations, handling Dire Straits, Black Sabbath, The Band and Journey, among others. He has published numerous books, from the unauthorized biography of Axl Rose to the official biography of Iron Maiden.
