OZZY OSBOURNE Wrote His Autobiography With A Pencil, Says SHARON

October 7, 2009

According to Metro.co.uk, Sharon Osbourne has revealed that her husband Ozzy wrote his autobiography with a pencil.

The former BLACK SABBATH singer released his book, "I Am Ozzy", in the U.K. on October 1.

Asked whether she had a hand in its creation, Sharon said, "No. It's his autobiography. He did it all by himself — with a pencil."

An exclusive extract from the autobiography — in which Ozzy recalls the booze, the bedlam and the bat — can be found at Times Online.

Ozzy signed copies of his memoir on Friday, October 2 at HMV in London, England. The book was originally slated to arrive almost two years ago but was delayed twice.

A short video report on the signing session from ITN can be viewed below.

"I Am Ozzy" chronicles the star's humble beginnings in the U.K. to his current position as international music and TV celebrity.

Publisher Antonia Hodgson called the book "fantastic," adding that it was "very much in the tone of his voice, very funny and a very full story."

A U.S. publication date has yet to be announced.

Ozzy's wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, published her own best-selling memoir in 2005, called "Extreme: My Autobiography". A second volume was rushed out in 2008 after Ozzy's book was delayed.

A documentary about Ozzy's life and career, called "Wreckage Of My Past", is due out in early 2010.

Ozzy is working on a new album that he expects to release next year.
