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