Ozzy Osbourne: pre-orders open for the Italian edition of the biography written by Keith Kahn-Harris

To mark the first Ozzy Day, scheduled in Birmingham on July 22, publisher Silvery Quail has announced the release of the Italian edition of the book "The Beautiful Death Of Ozzy Osbourne: How Metal Teaches Us To Live", written by Keith Kahn-Harris. The eagerly awaited Italian edition, in hardback, is titled "Il Glorioso Lascito di Ozzy Osbourne" and will run to 288 pages, including numerous photographs.

There are tons of books about the late Ozzy Osbourne and his band, Black Sabbath, many of which attempt to answer the usual question: "What does heavy metal mean, and how did it come about?" But there has never truly been a rigorous analysis of the socio-cultural implications of Ozzy's career. Metal criticism pioneer Keith Kahn-Harris now presents a fresh and visionary exploration of Ozzy Osbourne, his music and metal culture.

Keith Kahn-Harris structures the chapters of his analysis in an unconventional way, each one focusing on an aspect of Ozzy and the wider metal culture, starting with a mention of the "Back To The Beginning" concert held in Birmingham in July 2025, Ozzy's final live performance, destined to remain etched in the history of popular culture as an era-defining event. The portrait of the singer is accurate and honest, backed by numerous details focused on Ozzy's struggles with anxiety, isolation and addiction. What emerges is a balanced portrait, among the best produced so far, largely independent from the narrative of Black Sabbath's career.

Pre-orders for the book have been open since July 22 (to mark Ozzy Day, the anniversary of the English singer's death), while shipping will begin on December 3, the anniversary of the Prince of Darkness's birth.
