One year on from Ozzy Osbourne's death, hear the story of his legacy in new book

Keith Kahn-Harris examines how Ozzy Osbourne shaped metal across 9 themed chapters, and peers say the book explains his influence on the genre.

  • On Thursday, The Beautiful Death of Ozzy Osbourne was released, exploring the Godfather of Heavy Metal's legacy through chapters on art, politics, family, and myth, according to author Keith Kahn-Harris.
  • Ozzy died of a heart attack at his home in Buckinghamshire on July 22 last year; his death certificate also listed coronary artery disease and Parkinson as contributing factors.
  • Dan Franklin, author of Heavy: How Metal Changes the Way We See the World, called it "a tremendous book" that "deftly explains how Ozzy was emblematic of metal as a whole: flawed, vital, ridiculous yet sublime."
  • Tariq Goddard noted that everyone has something to learn from Ozzy and the book, which fans can now access through a new audiobook available on Amazon Audible.
  • Amazon Audible is currently offering a 30-day free trial for The Audible Standard plan, which includes one audiobook from a catalogue of more than 900,000 titles and renews at £5.99 per month.
