If it wasn't for Ozzy, I'd ended up in jail like my brother, like one of those crazed women in Prisoner Cell Block H. Or dead from an overdose of sleeping pills, looking for a way out.'
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 flamour and violence, villains and diamonds: one week touring with Little Richard and Jayne Mansfield, the next having tea with Charlie Kray. And whether the Ardens were living in Brixton or Mayfair, the bailiffs were never far from the door. In her late twenties, after years of fierce loyalty to her ruthless father, Sharon finally faced up to his devastating betrayals - but her painful decision to break with her family created its own havoc, both emotionally and financially.
In rock star Ozzy Osbourne, Sharon found her soul mate, turning his career around and becoming a legendary manager and rock promoter in her own right. Yet 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 Osbournes and The X-Factor to the lows of Ozzy's near-fatal quad-bike accident and her own colon cancer, Sharon's tenacity, honesty and humour have triumphed again and again.
In her long-awaited autobiography, Sharon Osbourne reveals the truth behind the headlines in her characteristically frank, intimate and articulate way. Inspiring, heart-rending and full of love, Extreme is the astonishing story of a truly remarkable woman.
