Ozzy Osbourne documentary pulled from BBC schedule due to family request

The documentary Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, set to air on BBC One on Monday, was pulled from the schedule.

Initially there was no reason given, however, a BBC spokesperson later said that Osbourne’s family has made the request.

“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,” said the spokesperson.

A new broadcast date is set to be confirmed shorty.

“This intimate film follows the final three years of Ozzy Osbourne’s life as he and Sharon plan a return home after 25 years in L.A. and prepare for the ultimate farewell gig,” according to the documentary's synopsis.

It details his move back to the U.K. and features interviews with Osbourne, his wife Sharon and children Jack and Kelly.

Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76. His official cause of death was a heart attack.

The news came shortly after the Black Sabbath frontman's final gig at Villa Park, in his hometown of Birmingham.

Additionally, Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2019 and suffered from spinal injuries.

"I’ve sat down to write this a hundred times and still don’t know if the words will ever feel like enough,” said Kelly on Instagram after Osbourne's funeral.

“But from the bottom of my heart, thank you. The love, support, and beautiful messages I’ve received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life. Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain."

"Grief is a strange thing, It sneaks up on you in waves. I will not be ok for a while, but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I’m holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind," she added.
