A Tearful Farewell: Sharon Osbourne’s Documentary on Ozzy’s Final Days
THE ULTIMATE ROCK 'N' ROLL ROMANCE: SHARON OSBOURNE REVEALS THE HEAVENLY HOMESHE SHAREDFOR LIFE WITH OZZY
In a heartwarming new documentary, Sharon Osbourne gushes about the idyllic Buckinghamshire mansion she shared with her beloved husband Ozzy - the very same property where the rock legend met his untimely demise just two weeks after performing a farewell concert in Birmingham. The fly-on-the-wall film, "Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," will air on BBC One this Thursday and promises to be an emotional rollercoaster of love, loss, and life after music.
The documentary, shot shortly before Ozzy's passing, captures the final three years of his life as he battled Parkinson's disease and prepared for a new chapter with his wife by his side. As they leave their comfortable life in Los Angeles behind, Sharon and Ozzy return to England, eager to start anew in their beloved Buckinghamshire home.
"I'm so used to running after the kids, I don't know what it's like to be with ourselves and each other," Ozzy reveals in the documentary, his iconic growl still intact despite his struggles. "I can't wait until we're there."
Sharon, ever the devoted wife, is equally enthusiastic about their new life together. "Home is where both of us are," she says. "As long as he's with me, I'm alright." Her words take on a poignant meaning in light of Ozzy's untimely passing, but also serve as a testament to their enduring love.
The documentary also features handwritten love notes from Ozzy to Sharon, scattered throughout the mansion like treasures. Among them are heartfelt messages like "I Love You Forever," "I Don't Half Love You," and "You Are The Love Of My Life." These poignant reminders of their romance serve as a stark contrast to the rocker's hell-raising reputation on stage.
Sharon recounts how they always planned to retire from public life after Ozzy turned 70, but fate had other plans. "I always told Ozzy, when you're 70, we say goodbye," she reveals, her voice cracking with emotion. The couple's plans were put on hold, and instead of a quiet retirement, they were left to navigate the complexities of life with Parkinson's.
Despite Ozzy's larger-than-life persona, Sharon insists that their private lives were far from glamorous. "We're quite normal, quite boring, really," she says with a chuckle. But for those who knew them, it was clear that beneath the surface lay a deep and abiding love - one that endured even in the darkest of times.
The documentary also sheds light on Ozzy's declining health, which had been well-documented in recent years. His death certificate, obtained by The New York Times, reveals that he passed away due to coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease, with his daughter Aimée Osbourne submitting the document.
As fans around the world come to terms with the loss of a music legend, "Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" offers a poignant reminder of the couple's enduring love story. With its intimate portrayal of their final years together, this documentary is not to be missed.
