Ozzy Osbourne’s Final Memoir ‘Last Rites’ Has Arrived, Completed Just Days Before His Passing

This week marks the publication of OZZY OSBOURNE’s second autobiography LAST RITES (Grand Central Publishing). The memoir was finished just days before the rock icon’s untimely July 2025 passing and it chronicles the past seven or so years of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy-winning singer and songwriter’s life. Read a moving Q&A with OZZY’s son Jack Osbourne below.

LAST RITESis the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of OZZY‘s descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career, including his marriage to wife Sharon, alongside his reflections on what it took for him to get back onstage for the triumphant “Back to the Beginning” concert, streamed around the world, where OZZY finally reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates and surrounded by the musicians he’d befriended throughout his storied career. Unflinching, brutally honest, but surprisingly life-affirming, LAST RITESdemonstrates once again why OZZY has transcended his status as “The Godfather of Metal” and “The Prince of Darkness” to become a modern-day folk hero and international treasure.

At the age of sixty-nine, OZZY OSBOURNE was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then disaster.  In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalized with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour—and all public life—

as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. 

Born John Michael Osbourne in Birmingham, 1948, OZZY OSBOURNE is a rock music legend. He is the Sunday Times and New York Times bestselling author (the new autobiography follows OZZY’s New York Times bestsellers: 2010’s autobiography I Am Ozzy and 2011’s Trust Me, I’m Dr. Ozzy: Advice From Rock’s Ultimate Survivor). His music career, with more than 100 million records sold (with Black Sabbath and as a solo artist), has spanned five decades and as a solo artist and a member of Black Sabbath, OZZY is a multiple Grammy winner and two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

“People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I’m like, f*** no. If I’d been clean and sober, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. If I’d done normal, sensible things, I wouldn’t be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can’t complain. I’ve been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I’ve done good… and I’ve done bad. But right now, I’m not ready to go anywhere.”

–OZZY OSBOURNE,

LAST RITES

JACK OSBOURNE TALKS ABOUT LAST RITES

Q: How did the idea for doing LAST RITES come about?

JACK OSBOURNE (JACK): My father had been working on Last Rites for a very long time—chipping away at it over the last three or four years. He always felt he needed to do a follow-up to I Am Ozzy, because so much had happened in the 20 years since that book was released. From life after the TV show, to the Sabbath reunion, to releasing his last two albums, and finally his health issues. It was important to him to capture all of that.

Q: Do you or other family members have favorites passages/anecdotes from the book?

JACK: If I’m being honest, not many of the family members have read the book yet—it’s been difficult time for everyone. For me, the last chapter is what I’ve reflected on the most. He finished it just a few days before he passed.

Q: Throughout LAST RITES Ozzy reflects on his early life with the insight gained as we grow older. Were there things that changed about him and the way he experienced the world towards the end of his life?

JACK: There’s a lot to reflect on with that question. My father was always considered the “wild man of rock,” the “Prince of Darkness,” and so on, but the last seven years were the complete opposite. Because of his injuries and declining health, he slowed down. And sometimes with a curse comes a blessing. Slowing down gave him the space to really reflect on his journey—his successes, his failures, his joys, his sadness and ultimately, what mattered most to him. This book captures some of that.

Q: Do you recall any moments or conversations with Ozzy as he was working on the book—funny, touching, surprising—about the material he wanted to include or stories about working with a writer on the project?

JACK: He was very private about the process and didn’t share much about what he was including. I’d try to ask, but he’d often brush it off. I’ve often said this about my father, he was the most humble egomaniac you could ever meet. He honestly didn’t think anyone would care about what he was writing in LAST RITES. So when I asked him, he always downplayed it.

Q: It’s so clear from reading LAST RITES that Ozzy loved his fans. Is there anything that didn’t make it into the book that you’d like for them to know?

JACK: Here’s the truth—my father fought a very hard fight to get on that stage in Birmingham on July 5. He was determined to say goodbye to his fans, and that’s exactly what he did. He loved them deeply because they gave him the life he had. He always said he would have been nothing without their love and support. That last show was his way of giving back one final time.

Q: What do you think Ozzy would like readers to take away from the book?

JACK: My father would want people to smile, laugh, and feel love when they read it. He absolutely hated when people felt sorry for him. I know some fans will get emotional—it’s hard not to—but he couldn’t stand when people cried in front of him or got sad around him. So enjoy his words. Feel his energy. Remember who he will always be. And never stop loving him.

Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White Discuss ‘Nebraska,’ ‘Born in the U.S.A.,’ and Artistic Connection in SiriusXM Town Hall

Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White sat down for a special “Deliver Me From Nowhere” town hall on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio hosted by Jim Rotolo.

During the interview, Bruce Springsteen revealed how he knew Jeremy Allen White was the right actor to step into his shoes and shared his reaction to how “Nebraska” performed on the charts. Jeremy Allen White also revealed which Bruce Springsteen song was hardest to record.

Jim Rotolo: Bruce, did you believe going into this that someone could portray your emotional and creative state at the time of “Nebraska” or is it such a personal and authentic album?

Bruce Springsteen: Well, I’d seen “The Bear,” so I knew the perimeters of Jeremy’s talents, you know, and I related to that character on “The Bear” very deeply myself, and I knew that this is the guy that could play the complexities of my own emotional state at that point in my life, you know, and that was the most important thing to me, that, I mean, I could see how, just from watching “The Bear,” how Jeremy worked in interior, you know.

Jim Rotolo: Which was more challenging, singing the more rocking songs or the acoustic slowed down stuff.

Jeremy Allen White: I mean, none of it was easy, but I’ll remember recording “Born in the USA for the rest of my life.” That song put me on my. I lost my voice. I needed a nap and I saw Bruce shortly after that recording. It was about a week before we started shooting the film and Bruce had a documentary film, “Road Diary” that was out on Hulu, and so they had an event that was, you know, nearby and I saw Bruce after that, and I didn’t have any voice and he said, “What’d you do today?” and I said, “I recorded Born in the USA,” and he said, “Yeah, that sounds about right,” and yeah. It was a funny thing. You know, we had about a week until we started shooting, and I lost my voice entirely. I just stopped speaking for a couple days, and then my voice started to come back and I loved the sound of it. I had this real rasp and I was like, “Oh, man, how can I capture this or recapture this?” And so there was a period in that first week, I don’t know if I ever told you this, Bruce, where I was waking up in the morning and I was screaming into a pillow to try and recapture like a little bit of that rasp, but I think my neighbors were getting nervous and I knew that I couldn’t go on that way. Maybe, you know, I wouldn’t be able to continue, so it was only about a week that I did that, but “Born in the USA.” I mean, I don’t know how Bruce, you perform that song.

Bruce Springsteen: That’s still a hard song for me to sing. That’s the hardest song of the night for me to sing.

The full interview will air on SiriusXM’s E Street Radio (ch. 20) on Monday, October 20 at 10:00 am ET.

Priscilla Block to Headline Nashville’s Historic Ryman Auditorium in 2026

Priscilla Block announces her debut headlining show, Priscilla Block & Friends, at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, set for March 4, 2026, as part of her Things You Didn’t See Tour. This milestone marks a triumphant return to the city where Block honed her craft, stepping onto one of country music’s most revered stages.

Presales start on Wednesday, October 8th for fan club members, ahead of the general sale on Friday, October 10th at 10 am local time.

“Headlining the Ryman is one of the biggest bucket list moments of my life,” Block shares. “I moved to Nashville 11 years ago, chasing this dream, and to finally headline the home of country music is such an honor. This will be an unforgettable night, and I can’t wait to share it with y’all.”

The announcement comes just days ahead of the release of Block’s forthcoming sophomore album, Things You Didn’t See, due on October 10th via MCA. The 14-track collection offers an unvarnished portrait of life beyond the spotlight, exploring themes of love, misrepresentation, exhaustion and emotional growing pains.

Block will kick off her headlining Monster Energy Outbreak: Things You Didn’t See Tour on October 23rd in Fort Myers, FL, with support from Greylan James and Payton Smith on select dates. She is currently on the road with ACM Award-winner Cole Swindell as part of his Happy Hour Sad Tour.

Ethel Cain Expands Sold-Out ‘Willoughby Tucker Forever’ Tour with 2026 North American Dates

Amid the U.K. and Europe leg of her completely sold-out tour, Ethel Cain adds a 2026 North American leg to her Willoughby Tucker Forever run. The new shows include two hometown appearances at The Moon in Tallahassee and dates across the Midwest and Southeast.

Tickets are on sale to the general public Friday, October 10 at 10 a.m. local time, with artist presale beginning October 8 at 10 a.m. local time, local presale October 9 at 10 a.m. local time, and Spotify presale October 9 at 12 p.m. local time. See below for full tour routing and visit www.daughtersofcain.com for more information.

The new year will see Cain make stops across Australia and New Zealand through February, then head to Coachella just before the 2026 North America run. Another festival performance at Primavera Sound will kick off a handful of recently added summer dates across Europe, including shows at Luxembourg’s Den Atelier, Cardiff Castle and Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.

Ethel Cain wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To help achieve this, the tour will be using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange and AXS Official Resale where, if needed, you can resell your ticket to other fans at the original price paid. She has also partnered with The Ally Coalition so that one dollar from every ticket sold will go to organizations committed to serving the Trans community.

Ethel Cain is the creation of Florida-born multidisciplinary artist Hayden Anhedönia. After years spent teaching herself to produce at home in the Florida panhandle and releasing various projects, Cain moved to Indiana and single-handedly wrote, produced, recorded, and mixed her acclaimed 2021 EP Inbred from the basement of the old church where she lived.

Since then, she has released three bodies of work. Her 2022 debut album Preacher’s Daughter, a multimedia work that took more than four years to assemble, was released in May 2022 to widespread praise, with many critics naming the album one of the best of the year. In 2025 she unveiled Perverts, a 90-minute project exploring her furthest afield inspirations from ambient and drone, and her sophomore LP Willoughby Tucker, I’ll Always Love You, both to near-universal acclaim.

Cain has played headline shows and packed festival sets around the world and is currently in the midst of her completely sold-out Willoughby Tucker Forever tour; walked in New York and Paris fashion weeks and worked with Dior, Givenchy, Miu Miu, and Calvin Klein; and collaborated and shared stages with Florence + the Machine, Mitski, and more.

Parker McCollum’s “What Kinda Man” Earns RIAA Gold Certification

Parker McCollum’s single “What Kinda Man” has become the artist’s latest song to achieve RIAA Certified Gold status. The single is off of McCollum’s self-titled album released earlier this year via MCA.

To celebrate, leading executives, friends and collaborators attended an intimate performance and conversation with McCollum including President and CEO of MCA, Mike Harris, EVP and General Manager of MCA, Katie McCartney, Red Light Management’s Enzo DeVincenzo and Nick Rhodes, Parker McCollum co-producers Frank Liddell and Eric Massey and more.

On June 27, 2025 McCollum released his 14-track self-titled album which was recorded in a seven-day period at the famed Power Station recording studio in New York City. McCollum set out with the intention to let this album reflect the most raw and authentic version of himself as an artist.

The collection includes a varied but cohesive selection of material – revisiting his “Permanent Headphones” which he wrote at 15, digs deep into dark storytelling with “My Blue,” and calling on his friend and fellow Texan Cody Johnson for a cover of Danny O’Keefe’s “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues.” Top to bottom the album is Parker McCollum on full display.

Ian Munsick Announces 2026 ‘The Eagle Flies Free Tour’ Following Acclaimed Album ‘Eagle Feather’

Building on the release of his third studio album, Eagle Feather, country singer-songwriter and rising star Ian Munsick will embark on the headlining The Eagle Flies Free Tour in early 2026.

Beginning February 13th in Charlotte, North Carolina, and featuring 17 dates with special guests Lanie Gardner, Ben Haggard, Tyler Nance, and Jake Worthington, the run will again highlight one of the most distinctive voices in modern country music – and his distinctive modern-Western style.

Sharing the news directly to fans after revealing his recent departure from his label, Warner Music Nashville, Munsick expressed his appreciation for their support, stating, “Of all the accomplishments and relationships I’ve made since I started my music career, one remains at the summit of the mountain; fans like you. You have allowed me to break the chains of Music Row and fly free. You were the reason I moved to Nashville in the first place and you are now the reason why I have the freedom to blaze my own trail.

“The Eagle Flies Free Tour will be our greatest tour yet,” he continues. “The bond you have with me and Rocky Mountain Fever is unlike anything I’ve experienced and it is an honor to witness night in and night out. Some of you have been to 10 + shows. Some of you might be coming to a show for the first time. Either way, this tour will be one of the best shows you’ve ever seen. Come fly with me.”

Presales will be available to members of Munsick’s official fan club starting Wednesday, October 8th, at 10 am local time. The presale ends Thursday, October 9th at 10 p.m. local, and all remaining tickets will be available to the public starting Friday, October 10th, at 10 am local.

Showcasing the vivid vocal howl made famous by gold-certified hits like “Long Live Cowgirls” with Cody Johnson, “Long Haul,” and “Horses Are Faster,” Munsick’s The Eagle Flies Free Tour will criss-cross the Western U.S. expanse this Wyoming native calls home, while also visiting Georgia, Indiana, Texas, and more.

Highlight stops will include a Valentine’s Day show at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia; a March 5th stop at Scheels Arena in Fargo, North Dakota; and a March 27th swing through the iconic Floores Country Store in Helotes, Texas, among other must-see moments.

Munsick’s pre-spring run will wrap up March 28th in Durant, Oklahoma, at the Choctaw Grand Theater, as he gears up for another summer on the road. VIP ticket offers will be available for all dates except March 28th in Durant, Oklahoma.

The follow-up to his 2025 Eagle Feather album, Munsick’s The Eagle Flies Free Tour continues a streak of touring success for the native son of Sheridan, Wyoming – including a history-making turn at the famous Cheyenne Frontier Days in July.

Headlining the iconic rodeo and Western lifestyle celebration, Munsick became the first Wyoming native to secure top-billing of the event’s musical lineup, playing songs from across his three albums – Coyote Cry, White Buffalo, and Eagle Feather.

The song is the second release from Carlile’s highly anticipated new album, Returning To Myself, out October 24 on Interscope Records/Lost Highway. [Pre-order HERE]. The album is Carlile’s eighth studio effort and first solo project in four years.

In addition to Watt, Dessner, and Vernon, the project features Carlile’s longtime bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth, SistaStrings (Monique and Chauntee Ross), as well as contributions from Josh Klinghoffer, Chad Smith, Matt Chamberlain, Dave Mackay, Rob Moose, Blake Mills, Mark Isham, and Stewart Cole.

Carlile is an Oscar-nominated, 11x GRAMMY Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer, as well as a 2x Emmy Award-winning composer, lyricist, and writer, and a #1 New York Times bestselling author. Her most recent release, Who Believes in Angels?, the critically acclaimed collaboration with her childhood hero Elton John, debuted at #1 in the U.K. and top 10 in the U.S.

Beyond her own work, Carlile has produced GRAMMY-winning albums for Joni Mitchell and Brandy Clark. She also recorded Indigo Girls’ “Closer to Fine” with her wife Catherine for Barbie The Album, and contributed “Home” to the final season of Ted Lasso. In 2025, she received her first Oscar nomination for “Never Too Late,” co-written with Elton John, Bernie Taupin, and Andrew Watt for the Disney+ documentary on Elton’s life and career.

Beloved by peers and fans alike, Carlile has collaborated with The Highwomen, Soundgarden, Sam Smith, Alicia Keys, Hozier, Noah Kahan, Jacob Collier, P!nk, Dolly Parton, and more. She has been recognized with honors including OUT Magazine’s “Icon of the Year,” Billboard’s Trailblazer Award, CMT’s Next Women of Country Impact Award, NMPA’s Songwriter Icon Award, and multiple accolades from the Americana Music Association.

In addition to music, Carlile co-founded the Looking Out Foundation, which has raised over $8 million for grassroots causes. She lives in rural Washington with her wife and daughters, Evangeline and Elijah.

Jelly Roll Scores Eighth Straight #1 With “Heart of Stone” From ‘Beautifully Broken’

Jelly Roll Scores Eighth Straight #1 With “Heart of Stone” From ‘Beautifully Broken’

With 21 genre-spanning Award wins and four GRAMMY nominations, Jelly Roll earns his eighth consecutive #1 at country radio with the powerful single “Heart of Stone.”

Featured on his critically acclaimed sophomore country album, Beautifully Broken, that debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart (all-genre), the vulnerable track finds a man pleading for redemption and rescue from his past mistakes. Following the album’s previous chart-toppers, like the beautifully crafted “I Am Not Okay” and the fiery “Liar” that dominated the country radio chart for six-straight weeks, the spurring “Heart of Stone” was written by Jelly with Zach Crowell, Blake Pendergrass and Shy Carter.

Currently nominated at this year’s CMA Awards on November 19 for his and Brandon Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” Jelly Roll performed the hard-hitting duet as a part of the first concert at St. Peter’s Square, Grace for the World: The Live Event in Rome, which took place September 13 (Watch HERE) and was co-directed by global visionary Pharrell Williams and legendary Maestro Andrea Bocelli. The concert took place as Jelly celebrated the closing weekend of Post Malone’s BIG ASS World Tour on September 14 in Portugal.

From headlining Stagecoach and making his acting debut in the CBS drama, Fire Country, to being the first-ever “Artist In Residence” on this past season of American Idol and headlining Music City Rodeo – Nashville’s very first PRCA Rodeo – in May, to opening his Goodnight Nashville Bar on Broadway in the heart of Nashville, the genre-defying phenomenon has had a busy 2025 to say the least.

Next up, he’s a 3x nominee at the Dove Awards airing this Friday, October 10 on TBN, as “Hard Fought Hallelujah” is up for Song of the Year, Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year, and Short Form Music Video of the Year (Performance).
