A documentary on the late Ozzy Osbourne has been pulled from the BBC programming schedule.
Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was initially set to air in the evening on Monday, August 18, but earlier that day, the BBC updated their press release to read, “The film has moved in the schedules and new transmission details will be confirmed in due course.”
According to the release, which was published earlier this month, the one-hour film follows “the last chapter of Ozzy’s life, told through unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family, including Sharon, Jack and Kelly.”
“Filmed over three years, it captures the extraordinary roller-coaster of their lives as Sharon and Ozzy attempt to complete their long-held dream of moving back to the UK, Ozzy heroically battles to get fit enough to perform, and the family deal with the dramatic consequences of his ill-health,” the release stated.

As Globe previously reported, the Rock ’n’ Roll Hall of Famer tragically passed away at age 76 last month after battling Parkinson’s disease.
The Black Sabbath frontman wed Sharon, 72, in 1982 and the pair share children Aimee, 41, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39. Only July 22, the family put out a statement via Instagram announcing the musician’s death.
“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” they wrote on the app. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”
