Ozzy Osbourne ‘Coming Home’ Documentary Suddenly Pulled Hours Before Airing

The documentary detailing Ozzy Osbourne’s final few months was pulled from airing and has yet to be rescheduled.

The BBC’s Ozzy Osbourne documentary, which was planned to air today, was suddenly pulled from the broadcaster’s schedule just hours before it was set to air.

The documentary, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, is set during the late singer’s final months, offering a raw and intimate portrait of Ozzy’s last chapter as he faced serious health struggles and pursued his dream of returning to the UK.

Publication The Mirror first noticed the change, and reported that an episode of Fake or Fortune had replaced the documentary.

As of the time of writing, no new timeslot has been announced. A spokesperson for the BBC spoke with The Mirror to provide a statement. Their statement doesn’t give a reason for the rescheduling, however, it confirms that the “film has moved in the schedules” and new premiere details will be shared “in due course”.

Shot over three years, the documentary follows Ozzy Osbourne and his family as they navigate his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and spinal complications, all while working toward a long-held goal of moving back to the UK. Central to the story is his emotional homecoming Back to the Beginning performance in Birmingham on July 5, where he played a solo set and reunited with Black Sabbath. Just 17 days later, Ozzy passed away on July 22.

The concert would feature some of rock and metal’s most celebrated icons taking the stage, including Guns N’ Roses, Korn, Tool, Metallica, Gojira, Judas Priest, Steven Tyler, Tom Morello, and more.

Back To The Beginning would raise $190 million for three major charities: Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. This would make it the most successful charity concert of all time.

Ozzy was laid to rest last Thursday in a private service on the grounds of his estate. Around 110 guests attended, including close friends, family, and figures from the music world such as Elton John, Yungblud, Metallica’s James Hetfield, and Marilyn Manson. Black Sabbath members were also in attendance, alongside longtime collaborators like guitarist Zakk Wylde and Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor.
