The premiere date for the Ozzy Osbourne documentary is now set, after the BBC had to delay it when his family worried it was being finished too quickly.
Just hours before it was supposed to air in August, the TV special *Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home* – described as a heartfelt look at the singer’s life – was unexpectedly pulled from the schedule, and no reason was given.
It quickly became clear the broadcaster felt pressured to make last-minute changes because Ozzy Osbourne’s family was concerned about how quickly the show was being produced, especially with the BBC competing with Paramount+ to release the footage of Ozzy’s final months.
Ozzy Osbourne, the iconic singer of Black Sabbath, died on July 22nd at the age of 76. He had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019 and passed away peacefully with his family by his side. A private burial was held a week later, on July 30th.
I’m so excited! Paramount+ finally announced that their documentary, ‘No Escape From Now,’ will be available on October 7th. That’s the release month they’d been planning for all along, so it’s great to have a firm date!
The BBC announced that the show “Coming Home” will now premiere on October 2nd at 9pm, five days ahead of its original schedule.
According to a source, this situation marks a return to the competitive practice of rushing documentaries to television, which the Osbourne family reportedly opposed.
There’s a lot of stress between the teams working on these shows, and everyone hopes it doesn’t negatively affect Ozzy’s family and friends.
With both shows premiering around the same time, the first week of next month should be a huge celebration of the band’s story on television.
Following his passing, it was revealed that both the BBC and Paramount+ had been working on documentaries about the musician. Filmmakers had been granted access to him during the last three years of his life, and the two channels were reportedly competing to release previously unreleased footage.
The documentary was reportedly delayed because of these concerns, and also due to the family’s issues with the film’s general message and feeling.
The show was scheduled to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on Wednesday 18 August at 9pm.
The story was reportedly told with special, close-up access to the entire Osbourne family, including Sharon, Kelly, and Jack.
However, the planned program was removed from the BBC’s TV schedule and replaced with an episode of Fake Or Fortune.
The show was filmed across three years and portrays the dramatic ups and downs of their lives.
Earlier this month, the BBC announced a documentary following Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne as they try to fulfill their longtime goal of returning to live in the UK.
Oh my god, you guys, it’s going to be SO intense! The show follows Ozzy as he desperately tries to get back in shape for what might be his last tour with Black Sabbath. It’s not just about the music, though – it’s about everything his health problems are putting his whole family through. Honestly, it’s heartbreaking and amazing to watch him fight so hard, and seeing the impact on Sharon and the kids is just…wow. I’m already grabbing tissues!
In the film, Kelly explained that his nickname, ‘Iron Man,’ wasn’t literal. He revealed he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, which explained the meaning behind the moniker.
Ozzy was buried on the grounds of his home in Buckinghamshire in July. The private funeral was attended by his family and many famous musicians.
Sharon, 72, the wife of the deceased, and their children were joined by celebrities like Marilyn Manson and Zakk Wylde, Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, at a gathering held on the family’s 250-acre property near Gerrards Cross.
He died only a few weeks after performing his final concert at Villa Park stadium in his hometown of Birmingham.
Being there at that concert, just three weeks before he passed, was incredible. It was the first time I’d seen him onstage with the original Black Sabbath lineup since 2005, and honestly, it felt like a dream come true. The energy was electric, and knowing how close it was to the end makes it even more special to me now.
Over 42,000 fans attended the Back To The Beginning show. During his last moments on stage, he expressed his gratitude to the crowd, saying, ‘You can’t imagine how much this means to me – thank you from the bottom of my heart.’
The rock legend’s death certificate cited three contributing factors: a sudden cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, a severe heart attack, and long-term heart disease. He also had Parkinson’s disease, which affected his autonomic nervous system.
Ozzy Osbourne’s family announced his passing this morning, stating he died peacefully surrounded by loved ones. They expressed their immense sadness, saying no words could truly capture their grief.
