Television network to abridgement of the movie imminently.
Ozzy Osbourne's fans will have to wait a little longer to watch the highly-anticipated documentary about the rock legend's life. The BBC has rescheduled "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home," out of respect for the family, who requested a delay in airing the film shortly after the news of Ozzy's passing on July 22.
Originally planned as a ten-part series, the documentary offered intimate access to Ozzy and his family during his final years. However, just hours before its scheduled premiere on August 18, the BBC pulled the documentary from its schedule, citing respect for the family's timing and sensitivities during a difficult time.
The decision not to air the documentary was not due to political reasons but rooted in concerns from the Osbourne family about the tone and timing of the film's release. The family feels that the BBC prioritized being the first to air the documentary over paying proper tribute to the singer.
Rumours suggest that tensions with the Osbourne family have prevented the broadcast of the documentary, titled "Coming Home," which was in production for three years and depicted the Osbournes' lives and their move back to the UK. The controversy surrounding the documentary is believed to be related to concerns about the intimate footage, including a joint interview with Ozzy and his wife Sharon in their final weeks.
The BBC representatives did not provide official reasons for the schedule change, but fans of the rock legend have expressed mixed feelings about the postponement. Many see it as a respectful decision in light of Ozzy Osbourne's passing, while others are eager to watch the documentary that was meant to be an emotional tribute to the singer.
As of now, no new airdate for the documentary has been announced, and it has only been "rescheduled." The controversy surrounding the documentary has shaken millions of music fans worldwide, who are left waiting to see the final product.
