A BBC documentary about Ozzy Osbourne, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was pulled from its scheduled airing on August 18, 2025, just hours before it was set to broadcast. Reports indicate the postponement was made at the request of the Osbourne family.
The film was intended to offer an intimate look into the final months of the late Black Sabbath frontman, who passed away in July 2025 at the age of 76.
However, sources told RadarOnline that the family branded the documentary “sick, ghoulish, and cynical.” An insider stated, “The family felt the whole thing had been rushed and turned into something ghoulish. It looked like the BBC wanted to beat a rival film to air rather than focus on Ozzy’s story.” They added, “Ozzy’s wife Sharon and her kids thought the emphasis was wrong – instead of being a celebration of his life and career, it came across as a grim and cynical way to get viewers.”
A BBC spokesperson said the film was simply “moved in the schedules.” The official statement read, “Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time. We are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film.” The spokesperson added that the new transmission date “will be confirmed shortly.”
