Ozzy Osbourne's final months filmed for documentary
Ozzy Osbourne's final months were filmed for a documentary. The 76-year-old Black Sabbath rocker died earlier this week following a long battle with Parkinson's disease. Son Jack revealed his parents, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, had been filming a docuseries Home To Roost about their move back to Buckinghamshire in the UK after 20 years in the USA. Jack also told the Daily Mail's Weekend magazine that his father had finished an autobiography called Last Rites, which is due out later in 2025. Jack, 39, did the interview before his father passed away and during the chat, he spoke about his work as a co-producer on an upcoming biopic about Ozzy. He said: "Right now it'll take place over the Sabbath era and early 1980s. We're definitely going for a more adult rating for the film. "This is by no means going to be a fluff piece. Right now we're going through a rewrite with Craig Borten, who wrote Dallas Buyers Club." News of Ozzy's death was confirmed by his family in a statement, which read: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. "We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis." It was later reported that Ozzy died at his home in Buckinghamshire and his family had flown in from Los Angeles to be with him. A source told MailOnline: "(His passing was) unexpected to be this soon." The insider added that daughters Aimee, 41, and Kelly, 40, had come from Los Angeles to be with their father and Jack had flown in from his home in Idaho to watch his father perform at his final Black Sabbath gig in Birmingham on July 5. The source said: "Ozzy was always meant to come back to Britain to live in Buckinghamshire, it was where Sharon had spent so long preparing their family home for him. "There was much hope that he would be around for a lot longer than this but at one point there were fears they would not get him back from Los Angeles for the concert earlier this month. "Kelly has been at the house a lot in the last week or so, so has Aimee. It is terribly sad for all of them, they really hoped he would be able to carry on for a bit longer. "But it's so lovely that he had his children around him during his last days." Ozzy Osbourne's final months were filmed for a documentary.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon played disgusting pranks after rows
Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon would play gross pranks on each other after an argument, according to Lita Ford. The Runaways star was managed by Sharon when she embarked on her solo career so the musician became good friends with her as well as her Black Sabbath rocker husband - and Lita has recalled the disgusting lengths the couple would go to get revenge after they'd had a falling out. She told the Guardian newspaper: "With Sharon being my manager, Ozzy was always there. They were crazy. The stuff they did to each other – it wasn't like any other relationship I've ever known. "They were perfect for each other, that's for sure, because he could dish it out and she could dish it out even bigger. "She and Ozzy would play games with each other to let the other know they've p***** them off. You'd walk through a hotel and you'd see a pair of shoes out in the hallway, and you'd think: I wonder why Ozzy's shoes are there? "Well, Sharon had had enough of him, and she'd c****** in his shoes. And then of course he would c*** in her shoes at a later date. He'd get her back." Lita also recalled a time when she introduced Sharon and Ozzy to her parents over an Easter meal - revealing the rocker downed a whole bottle of wine and then accidentally threw the roast lamb on the floor. She explained: "They came to my parents' house one day for Easter dinner, and my mom had roasted a leg of lamb. Sharon and Ozzy come in, and Ozzy chugs a bottle of wine. "He doesn't drink the wine in a glass, he just drinks it out of the bottle, like it's the last little bit of fluid he's ever going to taste. "And he starts sinking lower and lower into the chair until the wine's gone. And then my father asks Ozzy to cut the lamb. Ozzy starts, but it slips off the plate and goes underneath the table. Ozzy says: 'I'm sorry, I don't eat meat!' My dad laughed his a** off." Ozzy died on Tuesday (22.07.25) at the age of 76 just two weeks after he reunited with his Black Sabbath bandmates for their big Back To The Beginning concert in their hometown of Birmingham, England - and Lita says the rocker went out "like a king". She added: "Whether he could stand up and walk or not, he still delivered the songs, and the band killed it. I hate to say it, but it's kind of the way to go: like a king. They call him the Prince of Darkness, but maybe he's a bit bigger than that now."
