**Netflix Announces Upcoming Release of ‘Godfather of Metal’ Documentary Honoring Ozzy Osbourne Following His Death at 76**
The world is mourning the loss of one of rock music’s most legendary figures. Ozzy Osbourne, the trailblazing frontman of Black Sabbath and revered solo artist known as the “Prince of Darkness,” has died at the age of 76. In tribute to his extraordinary life and musical legacy, Netflix has announced the upcoming release of a new documentary titled *Godfather of Metal*.
The film, which has been in production for several months, will serve as both a celebration and a reflection of Osbourne’s immense cultural impact. Featuring rare archival footage, intimate interviews with family members, bandmates, and music legends, the documentary charts his tumultuous journey from working-class Birmingham to international superstardom.
*Godfather of Metal* delves deep into the highs and lows of Osbourne’s career — from forming Black Sabbath in 1968 and pioneering heavy metal, to his wild solo success with hits like “Crazy Train” and “No More Tears.” The film also explores his personal struggles, including battles with addiction, controversial public moments, and his enduring relationship with wife Sharon Osbourne, who serves as an executive producer on the project.
Netflix has not yet confirmed an official release date, but sources indicate the documentary will premiere in the coming weeks, likely accompanied by global fan events and tribute concerts.
“Ozzy was larger than life — a true original who transformed the world of music forever,” Netflix said in a statement. “This documentary is our way of honoring his legacy and saying thank you.”
Fans around the globe are preparing to say goodbye to an icon whose influence transcended generations. *Godfather of Metal* promises to be a powerful and emotional farewell to the man who made darkness shine.
