Ozzy Osbourne’s death caught on camera? Rock icon’s final moments to air in shocking BBC doc

Ozzy Osbourne’s final months were filmed for a new documentary, turning his death into a posthumous spectacle.

Ozzy Osbourne’s death may have marked the end of an era, but it seems it’s just the beginning of a posthumous television event. The legendary rocker’s final months were secretly filmed for a BBC documentary, and now, days after his death, the footage is poised to become a cultural flashpoint.

The 10-part series, Home to Roost, was originally conceived as a feel-good chronicle of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s return to Britain after decades in the US. But now, the tone has shifted dramatically. With cameras rolling until the end, the series inadvertently captured Ozzy’s last days, including intimate moments with family, his declining health, and a grand farewell gig in Birmingham.

Jack Osbourne, Ozzy’s son and co-producer, confirmed that the series would no longer shy away from the dark reality. “This is by no means going to be a fluff piece,” he said, hinting that the edit would lean heavily into the raw, unfiltered chaos of the Osbourne legacy. He also revealed Ozzy had been working on an autobiography titled Last Rites, now set to be released posthumously.

Ozzy’s final performance, a surprise reunion with his Black Sabbath bandmates, now carries the weight of a cinematic goodbye. He was presented with a cake bearing his likeness, unaware it would become his last public tribute. “He loved what he did,” said Tony Iommi. “It was brilliant for Ozzy. He felt at home.”

While tributes pour in, the looming broadcast of his final chapter is raising eyebrows online. Fans are split, some see it as a fitting memorial, others a disturbing descent into death-as-entertainment. Either way, Home to Roost is no longer just a reality show. It’s Ozzy’s final act.
