Ozzy Osbournes death is still too fresh for two | TV Shows

Music icon Ozzy Osbourne died at the age of 76 of coronary heart failure at his England home on July 22, just two weeks after performing at Black Sabbath’s farewell live performance, Back to the Beginning, at Birmingham, England’s Villa Park.

On July 30, his spouse of more than 40 years, Sharon Osbourne, and their three youngsters, Kelly, Jack, and Aimee, rode in his funeral procession in Birmingham and paid tribute to him alongside hundreds of followers lining the streets. It was a good send-off.

Now, only two months later, two new documentaries focusing on Ozzy’s ultimate years are set to premiere within a week of each other, and I am unable to help but assume that his death is still too fresh in followers’ minds to watch either of them.

The BBC One documentary, Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, which airs in the UK on Oct. 2, options footage of the Osbourne household filmed over three years prior to Ozzy’s death.

It is set to show the Osbournes’ return to the United Kingdom after more than thirty years in the United States and will even show Ozzy’s ultimate love notes to Sharon as they regulate to their return.

Another documentary about Ozzy’s last years is set to arrive this month. Ozzy: No Escape From Now shall be out there for streaming beginning October 7 on Paramount+ globally. The documentary is billed as the “definitive account” of the ultimate six years of his life.

The upcoming documentary’s prolonged trailer disclosed that Black Sabbath’s farewell live performance was a reward from Sharon. Sharon asks Ozzy, “What do you think, we do a big farewell show?”

The clip did not show Ozzy’s speedy response or response to Sharon, but it cuts to a snippet of him in an interview, saying, “I want to say to my fans, thank you for the years.”

The trailer then exhibits a flurry of behind-the-scenes moments from the farewell show. In a clip afterward, Sharon says about the show, “It’s going to be a celebration for everyone.”

Ozzy and his household are no strangers to inviting digital camera crews into their home. However, these documentaries will not be something like MTV’s The Osbournes, which aired from 2002 to 2005. 

They will show a household grappling with Ozzy’s ever-evolving circumstances, from his neck and spinal accidents to his Parkinson’s disease. And while this may resonate with some, it is heartbreaking for others.

I’ve been a large Ozzy fan since childhood. I watched The Osbournes and adopted Ozzy’s health scares throughout the years. I cried, as many did all over the world, when news got here of his death.

It hardly felt real watching Ozzy’s funeral procession in Birmingham. All I stored considering about was how a lot of a fixture Ozzy was in the rock world. No matter what he did or how he injured himself, he always pulled through over the years. His death felt abrupt and complicated.

Now, through these documentaries, followers will get a better sense of what his life was like in his ultimate years and understand he was often holding on by a thread.

However, seeing the music icon as his health deteriorated is one thing I might somewhat not see in such element, particularly so soon after his death. It was painful and heartbreaking enough to see him carry out at Back to the Beginning.

I could not think about watching him and Sharon speak about his love letters or about their future together months before his death.

The BBC documentary was scheduled to broadcast on August 18, but was rescheduled without any clarification. However, it is clear that its premiere was pushed back as it sat too close to Ozzy’s death on July 22 and his funeral on July 30.

Still, I am unable to help but assume the BBC and Paramount ought to have held back a few more months to release their movies, particularly since they middle on comparable topics.

Their releases would have felt a little better if they’d been pushed back toward the start of next yr, as followers who have been deeply affected by Ozzy’s death would’ve had ample time to mourn him.

I do not need to see his ultimate years, which noticed him very a lot in pain. Nor do I ponder how he obtained through it.

The premieres of Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home and Ozzy: No Escape From Now, only days aside, really feel like a bandaid being ripped off or maybe like stitches being eliminated hours after surgical procedure.  

It’s painful to say the least to watch one of your musical heroes basically slowly die proper before your eyes.
