The final years of Ozzy Osbourne’s life will be the focus of a new documentary titled “Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home.” The film will air on August 18 via BBC One and iPlayer and it will offer fans a look at Ozzy and his wife Sharon’s return to the UK, Ozzy’s health issues, and Ozzy’s final performances with his solo band and Black Sabbath.

Clare Sillery, BBC head of commissioning, documentaries, said the following about the documentary:

“We are honored to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the U.K. It features family moments, humor, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy’s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”

Ben Wicks and Colin Barr, executive producers at Expectation, also added:

“It was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly. Ozzy wanted to make it back to the U.K. and appear on stage one last time — our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream. Ozzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life. But one thing shone through even more brightly to us, and that was Ozzy’s intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.”
