A new documentary on the late Ozzy Osbourne is set to air on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on August 18 at 9 pm.
The Black Sabbath founder died at his home on July 22, just 17 days after performing his final show at the Back to the Beginning concert in Birmingham, England.
“Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is the moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy’s life, told through unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family, including Sharon, Jack and Kelly,” reads a BBC synopsis of the documentary. “Filmed over three years, it captures the extraordinary roller-coaster of their lives as Sharon and Ozzy attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK, Ozzy heroically battles to get fit enough to perform, and the family deal with the dramatic consequences of his ill-health“.
Clare Sillery, BBC Head of Commissioning, Documentaries, says, “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.”
The one-hour docu-film is produced by Expectation in association with JOKS Productions Limited for BBC One and iPlayer.
The project was originally conceived as a series, “Home to Roost,” announced in 2022, according to the BBC.
