Summary
Rock journalist Mick Wall has spent decades in Ozzy and Sharon's orbit, and he's got stories to tell. He takes Matt and Alice behind-the-scenes, from drinking pints of wine with Ozzy, to the moment Sharon asked him to escort her husband to rehab. Mick - who was also the couple's biographer - shares his up close view on the Osbournes' marriage: a partnership that ran on extremes, and a relationship as volatile as it was unbreakable.
