Ozzy Osbourne is set to release a new memoir.

The 76-year-old rock star documented his life and career as part of Black Sabbath with 2009’s “I Am Ozzy,” but now insiders say he’s set to reveal even more with a brand new tome.

A source told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre section: “Ozzy has had an explosive life and it hasn’t slowed down in recent years. He hit the headlines when he published his first autobiography, I Am Ozzy, in 2009, but a lot has changed since then.

“He’s had some free time since he stopped acting, so a new book is an interesting project that he can focus on and is sure to bring in a good income.”

The Iron Man hitmaker is married to music manager Sharon Osbourne, 72, and has Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39, with her, but he infamously had an affair with hairstylist Michelle Pugh in 2012 and now is thought to be the “right time” to address all of this amid his battle with Parkinson’s and other health issues.

The source added: “Enough time has passed now that he feels he can address the affair he had shortly after the last book came out.

“Between that and the dramatic details of his illnesses and drug use, there are bound to be a lot of revelations.”

Ozzy – who married Sharon in 1982 but was previously married to Thelma Riley and has Louis, 48, and Jessica, 45, with her as well as his adopted son Elliot, 58 – has been unfaithful to his wife for a total of four years and she recently opened up about how she “overdosed” when she learned the truth.

Speaking on her live show ‘Cut The C***’, she explained: “He always, always had groupies and I was so used to that. But when he knows the person’s name, where she lives and where she works.. it’s a whole different thing because you’re emotionally invested I took, I don’t know how many pills.

“I just thought, ‘My kids are older, they’re fine and they can take care of themselves.’ So I overdosed and locked myself in the room. The housekeeper tried to come in to clean the room and saw me.

The celebrity couple split when the affair came to light in April 2016, but reconciled five months later.
