Ozzy Osbourne 'planned to say goodbye at 70', new BBC documentary reveals

Sharon Osbourne has revealed in a new documentary trailer that her late husband Ozzy always planned to "say goodbye" to his fans when he turned 70.

Appearing in a new trailer for Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the couple show fans around their impressive Buckinghamshire house in scenes filmed before his death. The hour-long film shadows the couple and their two youngest offspring, Kelly and Jack – along with their close mates, as they map out the next chapter of their lives together at their British residence.

In one scene, Sharon tells the camera: "I always, always told Ozzy, when you're 70, we say goodbye." The trailer also sees Ozzy declare that he's "finally home" ahead of his final gig.

The premiere of Sharon And Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was delayed in August as a mark of respect to Osbourne's family following the rock star's passing in July. His shock death came just weeks after his Back To The Beginning concert with his Black Sabbath bandmates.

The trailer provides a sneak peek of the expansive mansion, with Sharon stating they've "always referred to this as home".

Interwoven with shots of their English country house, Osbourne expresses his anticipation for an English summer and shares, "I feel like I'm finally home". Their son Jack mentions that the family all "scattered" post their reality TV show The Osbournes, and adds: "It's like we're back together again."

In another snippet from the teaser, Sharon discloses that Ozzy is "very romantic" and leaves her little notes scattered around the house.

The documentary was originally scheduled to air on BBC One on 18 August, but was substituted with an episode of Fake Or Fortune? with the broadcaster announcing it had been "moved in the schedules".

Following the delay of the documentary, a BBC spokesperson expressed: "Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time. We are respecting the family's wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film."

Osbourne tragically passed away at 76 on July 22 due to a reported heart attack, just weeks after reuniting with his band for a farewell concert at Villa Park in his home city of Birmingham.

The BBC documentary, originally announced in 2022 as a series titled Home To Roost, was intended to chronicle Osbourne and his wife Sharon's move back from the US, where they had resided for over two decades.

However, the project, which was filmed over three years, "evolved as Ozzy's health deteriorated" into a one-hour film, according to the BBC.

Paramount+ has unveiled its own feature-length film about the late Black Sabbath frontman, Ozzy: No Escape From Now – set to premiere on October 7 on the streaming platform.

Sharon And Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is scheduled to air on BBC One at 9pm on October 2 and will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
