Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home has been postponed. According to The Rolling Stone, the BBC pulled the documentary about the legendary rockstar just hours before its scheduled premiere date on Monday evening, Aug. 18.
Details on why the documentary was pulled have not been made clear, with a BBC representative commenting, “The film has moved in the schedules and we’ll confirm new tx [transmission] details in due course.”
The production company, Expectation, has also not made an official comment, and neither has the Osbourne family.
Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was originally announced in 2022 and meant to focus on the family’s desire to move back to England. Its original title was Home to Roost, but due to Ozzy’s declining health, the scope of the documentary changed.
The movie is described as being a “remarkably candid and uplifting tribute” to the late rockstar, with an intimate look into the family and the final years of Ozzy’s life.
“We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy’s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life,” said the BBC’s head of documentary commissioning, Clare Sillery.
Ozzy spent the last few years battling Parkinson’s disease and injuries he sustained during a fall in 2019.
Coming Home also includes footage of Ozzy working out to get in shape for his final farewell concert that took place on July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
The concert was attended by over 40,000 fans and streamed to millions worldwide. It marked the first time in 20 years that the original Black Sabbath reunited on stage, with Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward. Ozzy performed five solo songs before joining his bandmates for a reunion performance.
Seventeen days later, on July 22, 2025, Osbourne died at the age of 76 due to cardiac arrest and complications from Parkinson’s disease.
