OZZY OSBOURNE's 'Ask Dr. Ozzy' Book Due Next Year

December 3, 2010

According to TheBookSeller.com, Sphere — an imprint of Little, Brown — has acquired world rights in "Ask Dr. Ozzy", a new book from legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne.

"Ask Dr. Ozzy", which will be published in the U.S. through Grand Central Publishing, was written with "I Am Ozzy" co-writer Chris Ayres and is a spin-off from Osbourne's ongoing Sunday Times column in which he offers medical advice. The title will "tell incredible survival stories not found in his memoir, offer advice that no human should follow, and shed light on his seemingly superhuman ability to keep breathing." An October 2011 release is expected.

Just a few weeks after landing a gig as a health columnist for England's Sunday Times, Ozzy started dispensing the same kind of advice in the pages of Rolling Stone. Ozzy stated about the column, "It's not a serious thing. I mean, I'm the last person to ask advice about health. It's just, it's not fit to be taken seriously. I mean — and I'm not doing it, I'm not writing the column personally, I've got a guy coming around, the guy who did my book, Chris Ayres, is doing the column. He brings me the column things and I just joke about it, you know. 'Cause if you believe me, you'll end up in the lunatic asylum."

Ozzy said in his first column for the Times, "If people can learn from my stupid mistakes without having to repeat any of them, or if they can take some comfort from the crazy things my family has been through over the years . . . that's more than enough for me."

Ozzy added in the column, "By all accounts, I'm a medical miracle. When I die, I should donate my body to the Natural History Museum."

The singer's new album, "Scream", debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard album chart earlier this year, selling 81,000 copies in its first week of release.
