Throughout his life and career, Ozzy Osbourne has followed a pattern: He strives to succeed, often stumbles and falls, then gets back up and triumphs—even if it means asking for help. The formula has made Ozzy a perfectly imperfect pioneer, a singer who is often overlooked for his musical accomplishments with Black Sabbath and as a solo performer, and—during a surprising third act—one of the early success stories of reality television. This is the story of Ozzy Osbourne, a self-proclaimed "madman" who beat the odds and succeeded—simply by being himself.
