Ozzy Osbourne - Prince of Darkness

When did the myth of heavy metal begin, and how did it change the world? This book is the definitive epic tale of Ozzy Osbourne, the "Prince of Darkness." From his early days in working-class Birmingham, to the founding of Black Sabbath, his chemistry with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, to the moment he rewrote rock history with his "heaviness." The more you read, the more you'll feel like witnessing the birth of heavy metal. "Black Sabbath," "Paranoid," "Master of Reality"—riffs that shifted the world's gravity were born, and songs that cut through an era of war and anxiety resonated. The stage became a ritual of fervor, and Ozzy's voice transcended the symbolism of "darkness" to become an instrument that beat the heartbeat of an era. A turning point soon came: as he embarked on his solo career, he encountered the genius Randy Rhoads, and "Crazy Train" began to take off. Legend and tragedy, and the creative truth hidden behind them—this book will deeply touch your heart with the story of how a masterpiece is born. Ozzy's story doesn't end with the music. His songs lived on thanks to his extraordinary companion, Sharon Osbourne, and his family. The reality show "The Osbournes" revealed not the mask of a "rock star," but a human profile filled with humor, pain, and love. It was these two pillars of stardom and family, legend and everyday life—these two pillars that elevated the Ozzy brand into a unique "culture." In the 2010s, Black Sabbath miraculously reunited and once again shook the world with "13." The tour's finale culminated with a farewell performance in their hometown of Birmingham. History came full circle, and the legend was passed on to the next generation. But the story doesn't end there. Ozzy reveals his true self in "Ordinary Man," and renews rock as art once again with "Patient Number 9." Covered in wounds, yet still to you—this message will be a shining light for our future.

This book also carefully examines Ozzy's public battle with Parkinson's disease. It explores the resilience that transforms illness into narrative strength rather than weakness. What art can do for life? Ozzy's words and legacy serve as a "textbook on how to live" that reaches not only music fans, but all those struggling with hardship.

What you'll learn in this book: - The core of Black Sabbath: How Tony Iommi's riffs, Geezer Butler's lyrics, and Bill Ward's driving force created the "blueprint for metal." - Behind the scenes of Ozzy's golden solo career: Randy Rhoads' innovation, the birth of "Crazy Train," and Ozzy's continued choice of "freedom of expression." - The story of Sharon and her family: How "The Osbournes" changed the distance between star and audience.
