<i>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.</i><br/><br/><i>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.</i><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Then disaster.<br/><br/>In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.<br/><br/><i>Last Rites</i> is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister.<br/><br/>Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, <i>Last Rites</i> demonstrates 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 national treasure.

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg--<i>Back to the Future</i>. Sitcom during the day, movie at night--day after day, for months.<br/><br/>Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<br/><br/>In <i>Future Boy</i>, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time--a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.

<strong><em>Entitled </em>is the first joint biography of Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson by renowned royal biographer and literary agent, Andrew Lownie.</strong> <br/><br/>Packed full of extraordinary revelations, <em>Entitled</em> reveals the extent to which Andrew and Fergie's lives are still deeply entwined.

<strong>The long-awaited memoir by Cameron Crowe-one of America's most iconic journalists and filmmakers-revealing his formative years in rock and roll and bringing to life stories that shaped a generation, in the bestselling tradition of Patti Smith's <em>Just Kids</em>. If you've seen <em>Almost Famous</em>, you may think you know this story, but you don't.</strong> <br/><br/>'His clarity of observation and memory, his choice words, his people - Cameron Crowe, wonderfully, continues to serve us' <strong>WES ANDERSON</strong> <br/><br/>Cameron Crowe was an unlikely rock and roll insider. Born in 1957 to parents who strictly banned the genre from their house, he dove headfirst into the world of music. By the time he graduated high school at fifteen, Crowe was contributing to <em>Rolling Stone</em>. His parents became believers, uneasily allowing him to interview and tour with legends like Led Zeppelin; Lynyrd Skynyrd; Bob Dylan; Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young; and Fleetwood Mac. <br/><br/>Crowe spends his teens politely turning down the drugs and turning on his tape recorder. He talks his journalism teacher into giving him class credit for his road trip covering Led Zeppelin's 1975 tour. He earns the trust of icons like Gregg Allman and Joni Mitchell who had sworn to never again speak to <em>Rolling Stone</em>. He embeds with David Bowie as the sequestered genius transforms himself into a new persona: <em>The Thin White Duke.</em> Why did Bowie give Crowe such unprecedented access? 'Because you're young enough to be honest,' Bowie tells him. <br/><br/>This intimate family drama charts the path that leads Crowe to writing and directing some of the most beloved films of the past forty years, from <em>Fast Times at Ridgemont High</em> and <em>Say Anything</em> to <em>Jerry Maguire</em> and <em>Almost Famous</em>. With its vivid snapshots of a bygone era and a celebration of creativity and connection, <em>The Uncool</em> is an essential read for music lovers or anyone chasing their wildest dreams.
