Earlier this month, BBC announced it would premiere a new one-hour documentary titled Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, but the UK broadcasting company has decided to pull the special from its schedule hours before it was supposed to air on Monday evening (August 18th).
“The film has moved in the schedules and we’ll confirm new [transmission] details in due course,” a BBC spokesperson told Us Weekly.
The BBC had been given access to the late metal legend and his family as part of a planned multi-part series titled Home to Roost that was set to chronicle his and wife Sharon’s move from Los Angeles back to England. Instead, the footage was edited into a one-hour documentary in the wake of Ozzy’s passing.
At the time of its announcement on August 7th, Clare Sillery, BBC head of commissioning, documentaries, stated, “We are honored 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, humor, 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.”
Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22nd, just 17 days after his final performances as a solo artist and with Black Sabbath at the “Back to the Beginning” concert.
