The BBC has abruptly postponed the airing of Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, a deeply intimate documentary chronicling the final years of the rock legend’s life. Originally scheduled for primetime on BBC One, the one-hour film was replaced with Fake or Fortune—and the decision to delay was quietly confirmed by a BBC spokesperson, who promised to announce a new transmission date soon.
The documentary, initially conceived as a 10-part series titled Home to Roost, traced Ozzy and his wife Sharon’s efforts to rebuild their lives in Buckinghamshire. But as his health declined, the project was reshaped into a poignant film capturing his return to the UK, the buildup to his final concert in Birmingham, and his passing at age 76.
While no official reason was given for the postponement, discussions on social media and entertainment forums suggest the timing may feel too raw for viewers still processing grief over the late rocker’s death. For now, fans will have to wait a bit longer to see this final chapter of Ozzy’s story.
