Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath were the original heavy metal band, their worl-wide number one hit "Paranoid" inventing the head-banging sound that still accounts for 30% of all record sales. Here, Ozzy talks about his poverty-stricken childhood in Birmingham, his careers as a mugger, burglar and in a slaughter house. He describes too, how first hearing The Beatles showed him his escape route, and how, playing in a band in Hamburg, he began the wild man antics for which he was to become notorious. He writes about his problems with drink and drugs and his attempts to murder his second wife.
