'Trust Me, I'm Dr. Ozzy' Book Signing Tour Announced
LEGENDARY ROCK ICON AND
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR
OF 'I AM OZZY' RETURNS TO EMBRACE
HIS STATUS AS A MEDICAL MARVEL
WITH
TRUST ME, I'M DR. OZZY: Advice from Rock's Ultimate Survivor
by OZZY OSBOURNE with Chris Ayres
BOOK SIGNINGS SET TO COINCIDE
WITH OCTOBER 11 RELEASE
Based on his ongoing, hilarious Rolling Stone column, TRUST ME, I'M DR. OZZY: Advice from Rock's Ultimate Survivor by OZZY OSBOURNE with Chris Ayres finds the Prince of Darkness telling incredible stories not found in his memoir, offering advice that no human should follow, and shedding light on his seemingly superhuman ability to stay alive.
Wondering if science could perhaps explain how he survived his 40-year avalanche of drugs and alcohol, OZZY OSBOURNE decided to have his DNA mapped in 2010. The "Full OZZY Genome" contained variants that scientists had never before encountered. In fact, the findings made headlines around the world and even led to OZZY hosting a prestigious TED conference. This was the genesis of the columns OZZY has since been writing for Rolling Stone in the US and The Sunday Times in the UK. Through reader-submitted medical and lifestyle questions, OZZY digs deep into his murky past, searching for "pearls of wisdom."
TRUST ME, I'M DR. OZZY will include some of the best material from Rolling Stone, as well as longer memoir-style survival stories that OZZY has remembered since writing I AM OZZY, his answers to celebrities' medical questions, charts and sidebars, and much more. Part humor, part memoir, and part bad advice, the best way to describe this book is 100% pure OZZY.
PRAISE for I AM OZZY
"Horrific, fascinating, and often hilarious…One of the most amazing rock autobiographies of all time; highly recommended."
--STARRED LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Perfect...here it all is, in vivid as-told-to prose, an identity and its roots…"
--SLATE
"…OZZY OSBOURNE's stumbling, rambling, decadent-beyond-recognition memoir, as over-the-top as the author himself. The book would be heartbreaking if it weren't so hilarious."
--THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
