Ozzy Osbourne may have given his final performance, but he hasn’t yet given fans his final writings - or “Last Rites,” as he punningly puts it. His new memoir of that name will come out this fall, Hachette Book Group announced Thursday.

A rock and roll icon, 76, will show fans the nitty gritty moments and beautiful experiences of his career in his upcoming memoir.

With tears in his makeup-shadowed eyes, Osbourne, the ailing and retiring frontman for Black Sabbath, raged against the twilight of the metal gods.

The set featured four songs from Osbourne's 1980 solo debut album Blizzard of Ozz, kicking off with "I Don't Know" and closing with "Crazy Train." The smash hit 1991 No More Tears ballad "Mama, I'm Coming Home" found the singer briefly (and understandably) overcome by the magnitude of the moment, but he soon found his footing.

Heavy metal fans crossed continents to converge on Birmingham, England, and throw devil horns in honor of the Prince of Darkness and Black Sabbath.

Hard-rock royalty and some 40,000 fans gathered for an ear-splitting tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at what the heavy metal icon says was his last-ever live performance.Related video above: Ozzy Osbourne and Cher inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of FameThe original lineup of Osbourne’s band Black Sabbath performed at Villa Park soccer stadium in their home city of Birmingham,
