Ozzy Osbourne: 'I Feel Like I'm Finally Home' in Heartfelt New Trailer
SHOCKING TWIST: Ozzy Osbourne's BBC Documentary Finally Set for Release - But It's NOT What You Think!
In a stunning turn of events, the long-awaited documentary about rock legend Ozzy Osbourne is finally set to hit screens, but it's not what fans were expecting. The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on July 22 at the age of 76, surrounded by his family, and now we know why the BBC documentary was delayed.
A Family Feud: Was the Documentary Rushed?
The film, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was set to premiere just hours before Ozzy's passing, but it was pulled from TV listings at the last minute due to concerns from his family. The Daily Mail reports that the BBC allegedly had no choice but to take drastic action after Ozzy's loved ones expressed their worry about the speed at which the documentary was being made.
It seems the rockstar's family felt like they were in a "race" against Paramount+ to air the unseen footage of Ozzy's final months. The two platforms, which had given crews access to Ozzy for the last three years of his life, were allegedly battling to be the first to release the documentary. This led to a heated debate about the tone and theme of the film.
The Real Reason Behind the Delay: A Family's Worries
According to insiders, it was the family's concerns that led to the delay. Ozzy's loved ones reportedly felt like the BBC was rushing the production, and they weren't sure if they wanted the documentary to air so soon after his passing. The film's director, Tania Alexander, has been praised for her work on the project, but it seems even she couldn't have anticipated the drama that would unfold.
A Glimpse into Ozzy's Final Days
The trailer for Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home gives us a glimpse into the rocker's final days. In one heart-wrenching scene, Ozzy tells his wife Sharon that he feels like he's "finally home" as they arrive back in the UK from America. He even jokes about doing nothing but relaxing in his favorite chair.
But it's not all laughter and tears - Sharon is seen getting candid about their life together, admitting that they're actually quite normal (or so she thinks!). Ozzy quips back, "I wouldn't say we're f**ing normal," sending the pair into a fit of giggles.
A Bittersweet Farewell Concert
Meanwhile, Paramount+ has released its own documentary, titled Ozzy: No Escape From Now. The film explores Ozzy's six-year health battle with Parkinson's disease and his struggle with depression. In one poignant scene, Sharon tells Ozzy that she wants to give him a farewell concert as a gift.
Ozzy is seen in tears as he says goodbye to his fans at the Back To The Beginning show, where over 42,000 people packed into the venue to see him reunite with his original Black Sabbath bandmates. It's a bittersweet moment that will leave even the toughest of rock fans emotional.
A Final Goodbye: Official Documents Reveal Cause of Death
In the aftermath of Ozzy's passing, official documents revealed that he died from an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease. His long battle with Parkinson's disease was also a contributing factor to his untimely death.
As fans around the world come to terms with the loss of this rock legend, we can't help but wonder - what would Ozzy have wanted us to know? The BBC documentary is set to air on October 2, while Paramount+ will release Ozzy: No Escape From Now on October 7. Will these documentaries give us a glimpse into Ozzy's final thoughts and feelings, or are there still secrets that remain hidden?
