A new documentary charting the last three years of heavy metal legend Ozzy Osbourne’s life is available to stream right now on the BBC iPlayer.
The 60-minute film, titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, was recorded between 2022 -2025 and was due to be broadcast back in August. However, the BBC decided to postpone the documentary after Ozzy passed away on July 22.
The film follows Ozzy and Sharon as they return to the UK after living in Los Angeles for 25 years. It also shows Ozzy's preparations for his poignant Back To The Beginning show at Villa Park, Birmingham back in July.
The doc first aired on BBC One on Thursday, October 2, and is now available to stream via the BBC iPlayer. Here's how you can watch Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home from anywhere in the world.

The background
Speaking about the film, BBC Head Of Commissioning, Documentaries, Clare Sillery said: “We are honoured to have had the opportunity to film with Ozzy and his family. The film captures an intimate glimpse into their journey as they prepare to return to the UK.
“It features family moments, humour, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy’s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life.”
Coming Home was initially commissioned as a series but evolved into a one-hour documentary as Ozzy battled health problems.
In 2019, the singer suffered a fall at home that aggravated injuries sustained in a 2003 accident, an incident which resulted in The Prince Of Darkness cancelling that year's touring plans. In 2020 Ozzy revealed he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.
