Ozzy Osbourne: “I Finally Feel at Home” in New BBC Documentary Trailer

Ozzy Osbourne said he felt like was ‘finally home’ in a new trailer for his highly anticipated BBC documentary following his death.

The Black Sabbath frontman, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2019, passed away at the age of 76 on July 22 surrounded by his family.

He was buried a week later on July 30. 

BBC cameras had followed Ozzy and his wife Sharon as they prepared to leave America and return to the UK permanently before his passing.

The footage will be screened from October 2, with a new trailer showing Ozzy as he arrived back on British soil.

During the clip, he tells producers: ‘I’m so looking forward to an English summer.’

Sharon can then be heard telling the cameras: ‘I always told Ozzy, when you’re 70, we say goodbye [to America].’

Ozzy adds: ‘I can’t wait til I’m there.’

The couple’s closeness is evident in the trailer, as Sharon asks her husband: ‘Do you want a quiet life now?’ before he swiftly replies: ‘No. Yes, but no.’

She also candidly explains: ‘We’re quite normal. We’re quite boring, really, when it comes down to it.’

‘I wouldn’t say we’re f****king normal,’ quips Ozzy in a sweary reply to his wife. 

In touching scenes, Ozzy then says: ‘I feel like I’m finally home. This is my home.’ 

When quizzed on what he’s most looking forward to, Ozzy tells Sharon: ‘Doing absolutely nothing.’ 

Back in August, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – billed as a ‘moving and inspirational account of the last chapter’ of the star’s life – was suddenly removed from TV listings just hours before broadcast.

Soon after 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 then 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.

Meanwhile, in a first look 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 the film, 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 clip then jumps forward, with Sharon telling him: ‘July 5th is the date.’

Smashing Pumpkins star Billy Corgan adds to the camera: ‘This is Sharon’s gift to Ozzy. You deserve this.’ 

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.’

Official documents listed three causes of death for the rock legend.

This included an out of hospital cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction and coronary artery disease and 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.
