A couple of weeks later, you slip away, surrounded by your loving family. Then, the world comes to mourn. That is how Birmingham’s favourite son, Ozzy Osbourne, died.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e By his death in June 2025 – at an age few believed he’d reach – Ozzy was much-loved, far beyond the metal world. Once a feared, demonic figure to some (and a joke to others), his Back to the Beginning farewell concert at Villa Park raised millions for charity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In concise, arresting chapters moving from Death to Life via Art, Politics, Sex, Bodies, Voice, Family, Myth and more, Kahn-Harris explores how Ozzy – of all people! – attracted such generosity of spirit. The answer, he finds, is deeply embedded within the story and culture of metal – and has lessons for us all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"THE CLEEVE BOOKSHOP LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57142213968247,"sku":"9780008819804","price":15.29,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/0729\/3737\/files\/9780008819804.jpg?v=1780422149","url":"https:\/\/thecleevebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9780008819804","provider":"The Cleeve Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
