BBC abruptly postpones premiere of Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, new date pending.
Ozzy Osbourne: Documentary’s Emotional Pause
The BBC’s highly anticipated documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was postponed just a few hours before its premiere.
It was to be telecast on BBC One on 18 August, but now its new date has not been announced.
This delay happened while fans of the “Prince of Darkness” are still celebrating his 76th birthday on 22 July.
From Series to One-Hour Tribute
Earlier this project was to be made into a series named Home to Roost, but amidst Ozzy’s health struggles it became a 59-minute feature.
The tone of the film is a “moving portrait” – it shows his rock ‘n’ roll life, his 43-year marriage with Sharon Osbourne, and the unconditional love of his children.
Iron Man, But Human
One line of the synopsis says it all – Kelly Osbourne saying, “The iron man is not made of iron.”
This is the moment when the family was openly accepting that Ozzy’s health is declining, but the love and respect was the same.
Sharon and the children – Aimee, Kelly, Jack – were together at every step.
Final Days and Farewell
On July 22, Ozzy passed away surrounded by his family and love.
The official report listed “hospital cardiac arrest” and “acute myocardial infarction” as the causes of death, with coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s listed as joint causes.
Sharon is heartbroken, but she is proud that they created a strong family legacy together.
According to the source, their children are around them, sharing stories, laughing and crying — together.
Birmingham’s Goodbye
On July 30, Ozzy’s farewell was an emotional procession on the streets of Birmingham.
The Black Sabbath Bridge and the bench next to him became a memorial — flowers, letters, and a sea of fans.
Thousands saluted him, as his music and person will forever be a part of his city.
Waiting for the Right Time
Now the BBC says the documentary is “moved into the schedules.”
For fans, the wait will be emotional, but perhaps this pause is also quite respectful — so that when it premieres, this tribute will feel like a celebration, not just a program.
Ozzy is gone, but his voice, his attitude and his love will continue to give the world the feeling of “coming home”.
