\n\tOsbourne died on July 22<\/a> at age 76, two weeks after performing his final show at his home soccer stadium, Villa Park, in Birmingham, England.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film was described as a \u201cmoving and inspirational account\u201d of the final chapter of Osbourne\u2019s life, filmed over three years with participation from his wife\/manager Sharon Osbourne, and two of the couple\u2019s children, Jack and Kelly. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe resulting film is a moving portrait of one of the world\u2019s most entertaining families at a pivotal moment in their history,\u201d reads a description<\/a> of the doc. \u201cThe strength of Ozzy and Sharon\u2019s love for one another and their kids\u2019 devotion to them is palpable. So too is the family\u2019s acceptance of Ozzy becoming increasingly unwell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe doc was originally pitched as a chronicle of the Osbourne\u2019s return to England after years of living in Los Angeles, serving as a kind of bookend to the family\u2019 beloved MTV reality show, The Osbournes<\/em>, which aired on the network from 2002-2005. That version, first pitched in 2002 as a reality show-like series called Home to Roost<\/em>, evolved as Osbourne\u2019s health deteriorated due to the effects of Parkinson\u2019s disease and a series of surgeries on Ozzy\u2019s neck and spine.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAhead of retirement, Ozzy is determined to perform one last time, for himself and for his fans. Whatever it takes,\u201d the description continued. \u201cPulling off both the move and the gig will be a phenomenal achievement, and son Jack is worried about the toll of relocating to a country that his parents have barely spent time in over the last two decades, as well as the impact on their close-knit family dynamics. But Ozzy has never been a man to take no for an answer, and he sets about achieving his goals with the determination, blistering honesty and razor-sharp sense of humour that have endeared him to millions for over 50 years. He stops at nothing to make his body work as well as it used to, with the film capturing remarkable levels of resolve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tA BBC spokesperson told US Weekly<\/a><\/em> that \u201cthe film has moved in the schedules and we\u2019ll confirm new [transmission] details in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film will show Osbourne \u201cheroically\u201d fighting to get fit enough to perform at the moving, star-studded Back to the Beginning show<\/a>, where he played solo and Black Sabbath sets from a goth-y throne alongside sets from Metallica, Slayer, Guns N\u2019 Roses, Mastodon, Lamb of God, Yungblud and many more. Amid the \u201clove, laughter and tears\u201d and sweet family moments, the doc also reportedly features scenes of Ozzy\u2019s adult children accepting that the end is nigh, as evidenced by Kelly\u2019s comment that \u201cIron man wasn\u2019t really made of iron,\u201d in reference to one of Sabbath\u2019s most iconic songs.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy\u2019s fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life,\u201d BBC\u2019s head of documentary commissioning, Clare Sillery, told BBC about the honor of filming the Osbournes during this difficult period. Two of the film\u2019s executive producers told the BBC that it was an \u201cinspiring and poignant\u201d account of Ozzy working to play one last show. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cOzzy was loved by millions around the world not just for his music, but for his sense of mischief and his honesty, all of which we saw plenty of in the final years of his life,\u201d said Ben Wicks and Colin Barr. \u201cBut one thing shone through even more brightly to us and that was Ozzy\u2019s intense love for his exceptional family who were by his side through it all.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
