BBC Announces New Documentary: *Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home
The BBC has confirmed the release of a new one-hour documentary, *Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home*, chronicling the final days of the legendary Black Sabbath frontman. Set to air on BBC One at 9pm on August 18th, the documentary will also be available to stream via BBC iPlayer.
Filmed over the last three years, *Coming Home* offers a deeply personal look at Ozzy’s emotional journey as he and his family attempted to relocate from the U.S. back to the U.K. It captures not only the physical challenges of the move but also the emotional and medical battles the rock icon faced in his final years.
A central moment of the documentary is Ozzy’s powerful return to his hometown of Birmingham for one last live performance. Despite enduring serious health problems—including spinal issues and Parkinson’s disease—that left him largely immobile, Ozzy took the stage at Villa Park this past summer. Seated on a throne, he performed for thousands of fans during the concert titled *Back to the Beginning*, marking a full-circle moment in his storied career.
The film promises to blend intimate family moments with behind-the-scenes footage, exploring Ozzy’s legacy, resilience, and the profound bond he shares with his fans and family. It also highlights the strength of wife Sharon Osbourne and the rest of the Osbourne family as they supported Ozzy through his health struggles and the complexities of moving across continents.
*Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home* is expected to be an emotional tribute to one of heavy metal’s most influential figures—offering both longtime fans and new viewers a heartfelt portrait of a man who never stopped fighting to return to his roots.
