3 December 1948 – 22 July 2025

[Verse 1]
Gazing through the window at the world outside
Wondering will mother earth survive
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her sometime

[Verse 2]
After all, there’s only just the two of us
And here we are still fighting for our lives
Watching all of history repeat itself time after time

[Chorus]
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

[Verse 3]
I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
I’m hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time

[Chorus]
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away, oh yeah
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days

[Bridge]
Your higher power may be God or Jesus Christ
It doesn’t really matter much to me
Without each other’s help there ain’t no hope for us
I’m living in a dream of fantasy, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 4]
If only we could all just find serenity
It would be nice if we could live as one
When will all this anger, hate and bigotry be gone?

[Chorus]
I’m just a dreamer
I dream my life away, today
I’m just a dreamer
Who dreams of better days, okay

I’m just a dreamer
Who’s searching for the way, today
I’m just a dreamer
Dreaming my life away, oh yeah, yeah, yeah

OZZY OSBOURNE’s Memoir ‘LAST RITES’ Out In October

Posted on by JL

13 July 2025

Only last Saturday metal icons Black Sabbath played their final concert. A whopping one for the history books and (as planned, of course) crackbrain frontman OZZY OSBOURNE (76 now) takes advantage of the moment to announce the upcoming arrival of his new memoir LAST RITES.

It’s out on October 7. Pre-order info HERE.

Last Rites 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 encounters with fellow
hellraisers including Slash, Bon Scott, John Bonham and Keith Moon.

The harrowing final moments he spent with Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, all alongside
his reflections on the triumphant Back to the Beginning concert, streamed around the world, where Ozzy reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for the final time and
raised millions for charity.

Ozzy: “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. 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.”

Out 7 October. Pre-order info HERE.

Last Saturday metal pioneers BLACK SABBATH (1968–2006, 2011–2017) waved
goodbye to the world with a gigantic concert featuring a mammoth cast of other metal/hard rock titans such as Slayer, Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, Billy Corgan,
Alice In Chains, Pantera, Anthrax, Lamb of God and so many more (see poster above).

Famous rock photographer Ross Halfin got some of them together for a sort
of class reunion picture with, of course, king Ozzy on his throne in the middle.

One more time.

Last night, heavy metal pioneers BLACK SABBATH played their final concert in
their hometown of Birmingham (UK) with a monstrous, once-in-a-life-time bill of
metal giants. The whole event was billed as Back To The Beginning.

The Prince of Darkness, OZZY OSBOURNE was, of course, the voice/face of the memorable night. Lately, the former madman deals with several health issues, including Parkinson. He performed, seated on a throne, a short solo-set with his own band and ended playing with his old Sabbath colleagues, their indestructible classics ‘War Pigs’, ‘N.I.B.’, ‘Iron Man’ and their ultimate jaw-dropper ‘Paranoid‘.
