Sharon Osbourne Extreme - My Autobiography (Electronic book text)

Sharon Osbourne has lived-in her own words-"fifty lives in fifty years." As the daughter of notorious rock manager Don Arden, Sharon's childhood was a chaotic mix of glamour and violence, one week touring with Little Richard and Jayne Mansfield, the next meeting the Animals and Electric Light Orchestra. In her late twenties, after years of fierce loyalty to her ruthless father who had betrayed her many times, Sharon finally made the painful decision to break with her family. Sharon found her soul mate in rock star Ozzy Osbourne, turning his career around and becoming a legendary manager and rock promoter in her own right. But Ozzy's drug-and drink-fuelled excesses-which culminated in an attempt to strangle her-made their marriage a white-knuckle ride from the start; only her devotion to their three children gave her the will to survive. From the highs of the hit show, The Osbournes to the lows of Ozzy's near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own colon cancer, Sharon's tenacity, honesty and humor have triumphed again and again. In her page-turning autobiography, Sharon Osbourne reveals the truth behind the headlines in her frank, intimate and articulate way. Extreme is the astonishing story of a truly remarkable woman.
