\n\tThe final chapter of Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>\u2019s life will be shown in an upcoming documentary, just weeks following his death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Black Sabbath<\/a> frontman and soloist died<\/a> of a heart attack on July 22 at age 76. Following a procession in his hometown in Birmingham, England, he was laid to rest on the estate of his home in Buckinghamshire on July 31.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe new BBC documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home features footage from the final three years of his life, up to and including his farewell concert on July 5. The documentary was first announced<\/a> in 2022 as Home to Roost and was conceived as a three-part series, but became a one-hour special as Osbourne\u2019s health deteriorated over the years.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film will be broadcast on BBC One at 9 p.m. BST on Aug. 18, and will also be available on the iPlayer service. An international broadcast has not yet been confirmed, nor has a trailer been shared.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe documentary promises \u201cintimate\u201d access into Ozzy and wife Sharon\u2019s lives as they complete their move back to the U.K. from their Los Angeles base, and the rocker prepares for his final live performance. Ozzy, Sharon and their children Kelly and Jack all contribute to the film.<\/p>\n

\n\tClare Sillery, BBC\u2019s head of commissioning, documentaries, said in a statement: \u201cWe 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\u2019s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOzzy\u2019s farewell concert Back to the Beginning<\/a> took place at Birmingham\u2019s Villa Park on July 5 and featured an all-star line-up, with Metallica, Slayer, Guns N\u2019 Roses and Yungblud among the performers. The event concluded with a nine-song set by Ozzy, and saw him reunite with Black Sabbath\u2019s original members for the first time in 20 years.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe event benefitted a number of local charities including Birmingham Children\u2019s Hospital and Acorns Children\u2019s Hospice, and raised<\/a> a reported $190 million.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The final chapter of Ozzy Osbourne\u2019s life will be shown in an upcoming documentary, just weeks following his…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53356,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[35979,49,48,75,5453,337,15111,35914],"class_list":["post-53355","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-billboard-uk","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-entertainment","tag-genre-rock","tag-movies","tag-music-news","tag-tv-film"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53355","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53355"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53355\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53356"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53355"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53355"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53355"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
