SHOCKING REVELATIONS: Ozzy Osbourne's Terrifying Return Home to UK Exposed

In a bombshell new clip for his highly anticipated BBC documentary, "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," the Prince of Darkness himself admits he was SCARED TO MOVE BACK HOME to England after spending years in Los Angeles. The Black Sabbath frontman, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his loved ones.

But before his untimely passing, Ozzy shared some chilling thoughts with his daughter Kelly, 40, about returning to live in England. In a clip from the documentary, Ozzy spoke candidly about his fears, saying: "I wouldn't say I'm excited. I'm kind of scared to go back."

Kelly reassured her dad, "I know what you mean," but Ozzy's concerns were palpable as he discussed the big change they would be facing by leaving their life in LA behind. He confessed, "I'm so used to being over here now, but I've got to go back. I've got a house there and your mum said it's beautiful."

The documentary, which was abruptly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast, has been shrouded in controversy. It emerged that the BBC allegedly had no choice but to take last-minute action due to Ozzy's family's worry at the speed in which the show was made amid their "race" against Paramount+ to air the rocker's final months.

Crews for both platforms were given access to Ozzy for the final three years of his life, with the channels said to have been battling to be the first to air the unseen footage. Reports suggested that it was this reason, as well as the family's worries about the "overall tone and theme," that the BBC documentary had been delayed.

'I wouldn't say I'm excited. I'm kind of scared to back. 'I'm so used to being over here now but I've got to go back,' Ozzy said

Meanwhile, a sneak peek at Paramount+'s production revealed that Ozzy's farewell concert was wife Sharon's final gift to him, following his six-year health battle and struggle with depression. Directed by BAFTA award-winner Tania Alexander, the feature-length film is set for release on October 7.

Titled "Ozzy: No Escape From Now," the documentary explores how the Black Sabbath legend's chronic pain affected his mental health and shaped the music he created during his last period. In a heart-wrenching clip, Sharon says, "What do you think, we do a big farewell show?" Ozzy replies, "I want to say to my fans, thank you for the years."

The concert - three weeks before his death - saw him reunite with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for the first time since 2005. More than 42,000 fans packed into the venue for the Back To The Beginning show, during which he told the crowd in his final speech: "You've no idea how I feel - thank you from the bottom of my heart."

Ozzy's wife Sharon then discussed their move home, telling the camera: 'It's Ozzy's decision whether he wants to spend the rest of his life there or here

But what really went down behind the scenes? Sources close to the family reveal that Ozzy's health struggles and fears about returning home weighed heavily on him. Insiders claim that Sharon was determined to make her husband happy, even if it meant leaving their life in LA behind.

As for Ozzy's passing, official documents listed three causes of death: an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, and coronary artery disease with Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction. In a statement, Ozzy's family said he died "surrounded by love," adding, "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning."

The documentary promises to be an emotional and thought-provoking account of the last chapter of Ozzy's life. Don't miss it when it airs on BBC on October 2, or catch it exclusively on Paramount+ on October 7.
