In the trailer for the documentary Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the late, great Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, debate whether normalcy lives within their family.
The couple of 43 years shared their journey back to the UK ahead of the iconic heavy metal singer’s death.
The doc:
PEOPLE reported, “The upcoming film takes place over the last three years of Osbourne’s life as the family moves back to the UK.”
Originally, it was meant to be a series called Home to Roost, as an homage to the family’s MTV reality show from the early aughts, The Osbournes.
But, as Ozzy’s health deteriorated, the series shifted into a film instead.
Sharon declared, “We’re quite normal. We’re quite boring, really, when it comes down to it.”
Ozzy, who screamed to the beat of his own drum throughout his life, thought differently. “I wouldn’t say we’re f*cking normal. I’d made some marijuana cake. I went to the pub and the vicar came round and ate some of the cake,” quipped the Crazy Train rocker.
A synopsis for the hour-long documentary calls it a “moving portrait of one of the world’s most entertaining families at a pivotal moment in their history.”
The documentary was meant to premiere in August, but was postponed hours before its set air time, citing the Osbourne “family’s wishes.”
Two of Ozzy’s kids participated in Coming Home:
Two of Sharon and Ozzy’s children, Jack Osbourne and Kelly Osbourne, appeared in the special.
Kelly noted, “You can’t be him without people staring. He’s Ozzy Osbourne.”
Her older brother, Jack, reflected on their life following their MTV reality series. “Post Osbournes, we all kind of just, like, scattered. Twenty years later, it’s like, we’re back together again.”
“The strength of Ozzy and Sharon’s love for one another and their kids’ devotion to them is palpable. So too is the family’s acceptance of Ozzy becoming increasingly unwell.
As Kelly poignantly phrased it, “The Iron Man isn’t made of iron.”
Ozzy’s health struggles:
The Black Sabbath frontman’s health was an obstacle when the couple moved back to England.
“Sharon had wanted to move back to England for years, especially as she got older. England was always home for them, but it became more than that.”
“It was about creating peace and the best life possible together in their final chapter. The path back to England wasn’t easy. His health has been fragile for years.”
Moving back to Buckinghamshire “was a gift” for Sharon and Ozzy. “They got a year and half together, at home.”
American viewers can watch Coming Home on Amazon Prime, The Roku Channel, and the Apple TV app on Oct. 2nd.
