Ozzy Osbourne Documentary Pulled by BBC Shortly Before Scheduled Broadcast on ROCK 92.9
The BBC made a last-minute decision to pull the Ozzy Osbourne documentary, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, just hours before it was scheduled to air on August 18. A spokesperson for the BBC informed Us Weekly that the film had been rescheduled, and transmission details would be announced at a later time.
Originally planned to cover the period from 2002 to 2025, the one-hour documentary focused on Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s relocation from the United States to their home in Buckinghamshire. It delved into Ozzy’s health challenges and his preparations for his final performance at Back To The Beginning.
Initially named Home to Roost, the project was announced in 2022 but underwent a change in focus as a result of Ozzy’s deteriorating health. Originally intended to showcase Ozzy and Sharon’s return to the UK after nearly four decades in California, the couple explained their decision in a November 2022 interview. Sharon expressed her disappointment about the decline in California’s appeal since the ’70s and cited safety concerns as a significant factor in their decision to move. Ozzy, on the other hand, expressed his preference for staying in America and his reluctance to go back to the UK.
Despite the anticipation surrounding the documentary and its unique insight into the Osbournes’ lives, the sudden change in schedule left fans and viewers disappointed. The decision to pull the documentary at the last minute undoubtedly raised questions and speculation about the reasons behind the abrupt change. However, with the promise of new transmission details to be confirmed in the future, fans are eagerly waiting to catch a glimpse of the long-awaited documentary.
