The Press Association recently reported:

Sharon Osbourne has revealed that her husband Ozzy wrote his autobiography with a pencil.

The man dubbed the Prince of Darkness has recently released his book, I Am Ozzy, in the UK.

Asked whether she had a hand in its creation, Sharon said: "No. It's his autobiography. He did it all by himself - with a pencil."

Ozzy's memoirs describe his early success with rockers BLACK SABBATH, his marriage to Sharon and his battle against drink and drugs.

In the book, extracts of which are published in The Times, he describes the infamous incident when he bit the head off a bat during a concert thinking it was a rubber toy.

He writes that his mouth was full of "warm, gloopy liquid, with the worst aftertaste you could imagine."

I Am Ozzy was released on October 1st in the UK. A North American release for I Am Ozzy will be announced soon.

A book description reads as follows: "Has there ever been a more extraordinary rock-star story than Ozzy Osbourne? Born into a life so poor that the whole family slept in one room, Ozzy endured a tough upbringing. Music was his salvation and his band Black Sabbath went on to change the music scene forever. But along with the rock and roll came the inevitable sex and drugs and Ozzy fell into a long relationship with addictive substances. The stories of Ozzy's days on the road are legendary - biting the head off a live bat, losing his best friend and writing partner Randy Rhoads in a tragic plane crash - but few know of the real heartbreak he suffered during those days of excess. In the end it was love that saved him: the love of his wife Sharon and kids Kelly, Jack and Aimee. In his highly anticipated autobiography, Ozzy comes clean: in all senses."
