New BBC Documentary ‘Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home’ to Explore the Metal Icon’s Final Years

A new BBC One documentary, ‘Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home’, will chronicle the final years of Ozzy Osbourne’s life, offering an intimate look at his health battles, his family’s move back to the UK, and his determination to return to the stage one last time.

Filmed over a three-year period, the project was initially conceived as a series titled ‘Home To Roost’ in 2022. However, as Ozzy’s health declined due to advancing Parkinson’s symptoms, mobility issues, and multiple surgeries, the focus shifted to a one-hour documentary.

Clare 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.”

Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, Executive Producers at Expectation, added:

“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. 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.”

‘Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home’ will air on BBC One on Monday, August 18th at 9:00pm, with UK residents able to watch via BBC iPlayer. Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22nd from cardiac arrest, just weeks after performing his final live sendoff alongside his legendary band Black Sabbath.
