"Ozzy Osbourne's past recreational pill use and current necessary intake revealed in upcoming October documentaries"
In the first week of October, music fans and documentary enthusiasts will have the opportunity to witness two extraordinary films about the legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne.
The trailer for "Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now," directed by BAFTA winner Tania Alexander and premiering on Paramount+ on October 1, has been released. In the trailer, Ozzy shares a poignant quote, "I used to take pills for fun. Now I take them to stay alive." This documentary, filmed over the past six years, offers a candid look into Ozzy's determination and resolve in managing his health issues, particularly his battle with Parkinson's and other injuries.
Meanwhile, the BBC documentary "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," airing on BBC1 and iPlayer on Thursday, 2 October at 9pm, focuses on the personal and professional struggles of the Osbournes. This documentary, originally scheduled for mid-August but postponed to respect the family's wishes, provides a moving portrait of Ozzy's relationship with Sharon.
Both documentaries capture the Osbournes' efforts to stage the final gig, despite Ozzy's health problems. The BBC documentary, in particular, shows the monumental battle the family faces, both on a professional and personal level, to defy Ozzy's health problems to move home and stage the final gig.
"Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now" was not initially intended as a posthumous tribute, but following Ozzy's death on July 22, 2025, it has become one. The documentary captures remarkable levels of resolve in Ozzy's efforts to make his body work as well as it used to.
The documentary "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" features interviews with family members, collaborators, and friends, including Tom Morello, Billy Corgan, Duff McKagan, James Hetfield, Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo, Tony Iommi, and Zakk Wylde. On the other hand, the director of "Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now" is also Tania Alexander.
These documentaries offer a unique insight into the life and career of Ozzy Osbourne, showcasing his blistering honesty, razor-sharp sense of humor, and unwavering determination, even in the face of adversity. Whether you're a long-time fan or a newcomer to his music, these documentaries promise to be a captivating and emotional journey.
