Ozzy autobiography coming out

Ozzy Osbourne's long-awaited memoir will be published in the U.K. on October 1st, according to TheBookseller.com. The book, titled I Am Ozzy, was originally slated to arrive almost two years ago but was delayed twice. Ozzy will do a week-long publicity tour in England upon the book's publication which will include two book signing events. 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."

Ozzy did a cover shoot for the book on Wednesday (June 17th).

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. The film is will be the first release from Jacko Productions, a company started by Ozzy's son Jack.

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