Documentary will show ‘final chapter' of life of Black Sabbath's Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne's 'final chapter' will be charted in a new documentary. The BBC's new film Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home will centre on the story of the Black Sabbath rocker – who died aged 76 in June – and his wife Sharon Osbourne as they bid to fulfil their dream of moving back to the UK. The documentary will show viewers how Ozzy battled Parkinson's disease to be fit enough to perform at Black Sabbath's farewell show in Birmingham last month and the consequences of his health issues. The one-hour film is told through 'intimate' access to the Osbourne family – including Ozzy and Sharon's children Kelly and Jack Osbourne - and will air on August 18 on BBC One. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer. The project was initially announced in 2022 and was planned to be a series called Home to Roost, but it later developed into a one-hour film as the Crazy Train artist's health worsened. Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, who serve as executive producers on the documentary for Expectation, said: 'It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly. 'Ozzy wanted to make it back to the UK and appear on stage one last time – our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream.' They continued: 'Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty, all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life. 'But one thing shone through even more brightly to us, and that was Ozzy's intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.' Claire Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, said: 'We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. 'The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK. It features family moments, humour, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. 'We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.'

Sharon Osbourne shares Ozzy's final heartbreaking words about his fans
Sharon Osbourne has shared her husband Ozzy Osbourne's final words about his fans before his death at the age of 76. The Black Sabbath star died on July 22 'surrounded by love,' according to a statement from his family. In the wake of his death, tributes poured in from fans and famous friends globally, including some of the biggest names in music, such as Gene Simmons and Elton John. Now, Sharon has revealed that following Ozzy's June 5 performance -where the frontman reunited with his bandmates Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward for their last ever performance at Birmingham's Villa Park Stadium – he made a moving observation about how many people came out to support. Sharon told Pollstar of the massive event: 'It was the first time, I think, that anybody's gone into retirement and done it, where the show is streamed and it goes to charity. 'So it's the first time anybody has said goodnight like that, it's the perfect way, when you've had such a long career, to end it – I never wanted Ozzy to just disappear without some big event. 'He [Ozzy] turned around and he said to me that night, he said, 'I had no idea that so many people liked me.'' Ozzy also made his love for his fans known during the performance. On July 5 in Birmingham – where his band Black Sabbath formed 56 years ago – he brought the show to a close with a powerful message. Closing the gig, Ozzy said: 'It's the last song ever. Your support has enabled us to live an amazing lifestyle, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.' Now, fans are preparing to say one last goodbye to Ozzy with the upcoming BBC One show, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home. A glimpse of the documentary was recently revealed, showing Sharon and Ozzy in one of their last images together. More Trending The legendary rocker and his wife are pictured smiling as they unwind at home with their cherished Pomeranians. The footage, filmed before his death last month at the age of 76 following a long battle with Parkinson's disease, captures Osbourne leaning gently into his wife, a walking stick in hand, and his once-dark hair now visibly greying. The hour-long special offers rare, intimate access to the Osbourne family over the course of three years, culminating in Ozzy's final Black Sabbath performance in Birmingham on July 5. Got a story?
