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\u003eBy his death in July 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\u003eIn 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\u003ch3\u003eAuthor: Keith Kahn-Harris\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWarwickshire, West Midlands, Music, Heavy Metal music, Individual composers \u0026amp; musicians, specific bands \u0026amp; groups, Biography: arts \u0026amp; entertainment, History: specific events \u0026amp; topics, Sociology\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ch5\u003ePublished on 4 Jun 2026 by HarperCollins Publishers.\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHardback\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Keith Kahn-Harris","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57319531217274,"sku":"9780008819804","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0373\/4125\/files\/9780008819804.jpg?v=1790630719","url":"https:\/\/belfastbooks.co.uk\/cy\/products\/the-beautiful-death-of-ozzy-osbourne-9780008819804","provider":"Belfast Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
