<i>People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy.</i><br/><br/><i>Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere.</i><br/><br/>At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world.<br/><br/>Then disaster.<br/><br/>In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down.<br/><br/><i>Last Rites</i> is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister.<br/><br/>Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, <i>Last Rites</i> demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

In 2022, Lisa Marie Presley asked her daughter to help finally finish her long-conceived memoir. A month later, Lisa Marie was dead, and the world would never know her story in her own words. Riley knew she had to fulfil her mother's wish, to reveal her complex, incandescent and painful memories, to the world. And to finally make her mother known. For the first time - in this raw, riveting, one-of-a-kind memoir, Lisa Marie shares her untold story. About being born to an American myth, raised in the wilds of Graceland. About the unconditional love she felt from her father, Elvis. About getting dragged screaming out of the bathroom as she ran towards his body on the floor. About living in Los Angeles with her mother Priscilla, getting sent to school after school, always kicked out, always in trouble. About her singular, lifelong relationship with Danny Keough, and about being married to Michael Jackson. About motherhood. About deep addiction. About ever-present grief. Profoundly moving and deeply revealing, From Here to the Great Unknown is a book like no other - composed of both Lisa Marie's and Riley's voices - and the last words of the only child of a true legend.

<b>'There's no easy way to share your story with the world, but I'm an optimist to the core and refuse to be defined by my tragedies. Life can shake you up and tear you down, but even when you're at your worst, there's hope, and you have an opportunity to rebuild.'</b><br/><br/><i>Heroes </i>and <i>Nashville </i>star Hayden Panettiere reclaims her story in a remarkably candid memoir.<br/><br/>Hayden Panettiere's career in entertainment began before she was old enough to walk. From early commercials to film and television roles in hits like <i>Remember the Titans</i>, her career unfolded in the public eye resulting in tremendous success by her early teens. She had become a fixture of early-2000s pop culture, earning acclaim for performances in <i>Heroes</i>,<i> Nashville </i>(which earned her two Golden Globe nominations) and beyond-while quietly carrying the weight of expectations that came with being Hollywood's "It girl."<br/><br/>Behind the image was a far more complicated reality. As Hayden entered adulthood, the industry that once felt playful grew unforgiving. The pressure placed on young performers, the hefty price that often comes with fame, and how quickly someone else can take control of your story. She recounts being scrutinized by tabloids, watching her body and private pain become public property, and performing storylines on-screen that echoed trauma she was living through off camera.<br/><br/>In this memoir, Hayden shares a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss. She holds nothing back as she reflects on the moments she calls "lifequakes"- experiences that fractured her sense of self and forced her to rebuild it from the inside out.<br/><br/>In <i>This Is Me: A Reckoning</i> Hayden showcases her most vulnerable role yet . . . this is her story on her terms.

Det blir en världsnyhet när Stefan Eriksson i 345 km/tim kraschar sin Ferrari Enzo mot en elstolpe i Malibu. Bilen klyvs på mitten - Stefan kliver ur vraket barfota med en sprucken läpp. Plötsligt känner hela världen till den svenske maffialedaren "Tjock-Steffe" och en makalös livshistoria rullas upp. <br/><br/>Om den lilla grabben på knattecrossen i Uppsala som blev en av grundarna till IT-fenomenet och miljardföretaget Gizmondo, uppfyllde pojkdrömmen att köra 24-timmarsloppet i Le Mans, svors in som polis i USA och blev vän med knarkkungen Pablo Escobar. <br/><br/>Bakom den glittrande fasaden döljer sig en komplex man, präglad av ett sökande efter det som inte går att köpa för pengar. I denna fängslande självbiografi berättar Stefan Eriksson för första gången hela den osminkade sanningen om det som hänt. <br/><br/>Det blir en resa genom ett liv fyllt av extrema höjder och djupa dalar. En värld av maktspel, förräderi och en komplex inre kamp. Det är en berättelse som utforskar de psykologiska djupen hos en man som alltid har strävat efter mer, men som i grunden söker något enklare: en plats att kalla sitt hem.

Bill Gates framgångshistoria är vida känd. Tjugoåringen som hoppade av Harvard för att grunda Microsoft. Datorpionjären vars mjukvara förändrade världen. Miljardären och filantropen som står bakom en av världens största stiftelser med donationer till olika initiativ inom hälsa, utbildning och klimat. <br/><br/>Men <i>Källkod: Min början</i> handlar varken om Microsoft eller filantropi. Det är en unik inblick i Bill Gates unga år som skildrar hur han blev den han är idag.

In early 1985, Michael J. Fox was one of the biggest stars on television. His world was about to get even bigger, but only if he could survive the kind of double duty unheard of in Hollywood. Fox's days were already dedicated to rehearsing and taping the hit sitcom Family Ties, but then the chance of a lifetime came his way. Soon, he committed his nights to a new time-travel adventure film being directed by Robert Zemeckis and produced by Steven Spielberg--<i>Back to the Future</i>. Sitcom during the day, movie at night--day after day, for months.<br/><br/>Fox's nightly commute from a soundstage at Paramount to the back lot at Universal Studios, from one dream job to another, would become his own space-time continuum. It was in this time portal that Alex P. Keaton handed the baton to Marty McFly while Michael J. Fox tried to catch a few minutes of sleep. Alex's bravado, Marty's flair, and Fox's comedic virtuosity all swirled together to create something truly special.<br/><br/>In <i>Future Boy</i>, Fox tells the remarkable story of playing two landmark roles at the same time--a slice of entertainment history that's never been told. Using new interviews with the cast and crew of both projects, the result is a vividly drawn and eye-opening story of creative achievement by a beloved icon.
