Ozzy Osbourne makes plans for the future in what turned out to be his final weeks, according to a new BBC documentary called Sharon &amp, Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home.

Sharon Osbourne refers to her English home as “heaven” in a new film about her life with late husband Ozzy and poignantly says: “As long as he is with me I am alright.”

The couple planned to move back to the UK after Ozzy played a farewell gig in the Summer for Black Sabbath fans at Villa Park. But sadly just days later he died and Sharon, 72, has subsequently buried her beloved Ozzy in the grounds of their heavenly home and she has been living life solo instead.

A new BBC documentary Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home which airs tomorrow night(Thursday) is all about their plan to relocate to the UK in 2025. Speaking shortly before they returned to UK, Ozzy said: “We are so used to running after the kids we don’t know what it is like to be with ourselves and to be with each other. I can’t wait until I am there.”

Ozzy can choose whether to spend the rest of his life here or there, Sharon then said. Both of us are at home here. I’m okay as long as he is with me.

The pair are then shown in the grounds of their Buckinghamshire home enjoying the wildlife and the lake this Summer. Sharon tells Ozzy she wants to get more deer, whilst Ozzy makes plans to set up his fishing rod in the lake one day. But sadly that day never came.

Just weeks after reuniting with his band for a farewell concert at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham, Ozzy passed away on July 22 from a reportedly heart attack.

Osbourne and his wife Sharon’s move back from the US, where they had resided for more than 20 years, was the original intention behind the BBC documentary, which was released as a series in 2022.

However, the three-year project “evolved as Ozzy’s health deteriorated” into the one-hour film, according to the BBC.

Sharon is shown back in Buckinghamshire, before Ozzy’s death and she says on returning home: “It was just like I could breathe. It’s our little piece of heaven. All you hear are birds, little bit of our dogs barking, Ozzy screaming.”

The documentary also makes it clear how in love Sharon and Ozzy were when he passed away. Speaking to the cameras, Sharon revealed that Ozzy is “very romantic” and says he leaves her little notes around the house.

The notes can be seen on screen saying things like ‘You are the love of my life’ and ‘my baby girl I love you’.Other notes read: “Ya know what? I love ya”, and “Dearest darling Sharon, I don’t half love you.” Many of the messages have been framed by Sharon and remain a lasting memory in her home. A second documentary about Ozzy and Sharon will also air next week on Paramount+ which is a look back over his solo career and his final ever gig, with all of the family interviewed including their three children.

Ozzy says to the cameras, “If my life is coming to an end, I really can’t complain,” perhaps aware of his own mortality. My life has been wonderful.

He had a brilliant career, according to his wife Sharon, and it ended brilliantly.

Ozzy, the frontman of Black Sabbath, revealed in 2020 that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and that he had undergone extensive spinal surgery to stop touring in 2023.

In 2019, he fell while at home, which aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike collision in 2003.

Ozzy Osbourne is seen smiling as he got to briefly enjoy a return to England – and was excited to be there for his birthday. A new BBC documentary shows Ozzy with wife Sharon doing a tour of their home in Buckinghamshire on a buggy.

Cuddled up together looking at their lake, Ozzy says: “I could go down their and set up camp with my fishing pole one day.” Sharon adds: “I want to get some more deer because they’ve been dying of because they are so old.” Ozzy responds by telling her to get more, and the pair look happy and content back In the UK once more.

On returning, she says: “It was just like I could breathe. It’s our little piece of heaven. “All you hear are birds, little bit of our dogs barking, Ozzy screaming.”

Sadly, Ozzy died just weeks after returning home, and just days after his final farewell gig with Black Sabbath at Villa Park this Summer.

Ozzy, who turns 77 in December of this year, also declares, “Wow, yeah, I’ll be spending my birthday in England. Get all my toys out for about a week before going crazy. My quad bikes are no longer with me, and the majority of them are gone. I’m no longer permitted to use them. I and Jack and I had a lot of fun on them.

He tells his daughter Kelly, “I’m scared to go back because I’m,” and she uses “LA,” but he decides to do it because Sharon has told him it’s “beautiful.” And he consents there as well. Just weeks after reuniting with his band for a farewell concert at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham, Ozzy passed away on July 22 from a reportedly heart attack.

The price reduction comes as Amazon prepares for its most recent Prime Big Deal Days event, which will see prices cut on thousands of items from October 7 to October 8 exclusively for Prime members. The retail giant has made it clear that customers will require a Prime membership to use these promotions.

For those considering the Fire Max 11, the tablet boasts an 11″ screen with 2.4 million pixels, ensuring a high-quality display for streaming, gaming, or simply browsing the web. It features an aluminium body that Amazon describes as ‘as thin as a pencil’, yet claims it’s ‘three times as durable’ as the 10th-generation iPad.

The base model offers 64GB of internal storage for plenty of apps, music and photos, but shoppers can upgrade to the 128GB ad-free model for £179.99. Each version also includes 8MP front and rear cameras, perfect for clear video calls and 1080p HD videos. The device can operate for up to 14 hours based on how it’s used, and boasts security features including a fingerprint scanner.

At Argos, you can purchase the same Amazon Fire Max 11 tablet for a similar bargain of £129.99.

When you spread the costs, Sky Mobile will flogged the 2025 iPad for £10.50 when bargain-hunters are interested in Apple tablets without spending any money.

Android enthusiasts might prefer the recently released Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Lite or Samsung Galaxy Tab S11, both of which come with a complimentary Slim Book Cover Keyboard and cost between £9 and £25, respectively. According to Wales Online, the Fire Max 11 has charmed Amazon customers, receiving a 4.5 star rating from nearly 2,800 reviews.

One delighted customer exclaimed, “The screen is something else, looks amazing, and I really like the wide aspect ratio.” Roblox and Minecraft are easier to install and perform than the iPad. Additionally, I installed Amazon Kids and parental controls, both of which have significantly improved over the previous generation. The tablet also runs quickly. I must admit that I think I’ll buy one for myself because I’ve been so impressed.

Another raved, “This is the best one yet.” The build quality has greatly improved, making it feel more premium than a Samsung or iPad. The speakers are loud, clear, and sound fantastic, and the speed has increased significantly. The power button now has a fast, flawless fingerprint scanner integrated into it. This is unquestionably the best Amazon Fire tablet, and it is a more serious tablet for those looking for a premium device that will perform well.

One customer had a few minor gripes about the product’s three-star review, saying it was delivered but had no wireless charging. Additionally, there isn’t a headphone jack, which leaves me a little disappointed.
