Ozzy Osbourne Dies; Documentary Completed With Family's Blessing

Ozzy Osbourne died on July 22, 2025, reportedly of cardiac causes amid his known Parkinson’s disease after years of health problems. Paramount+’s two-hour documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now, directed by Tania Alexander, was completed with the Osbourne family’s blessing after his death and includes a family-requested funeral montage. The film chronicles his final six years, including his 2019 fall that fractured his neck, multiple neck surgeries the family calls botched, infections, progressing Parkinson’s, chronic pain, and periods of depression treated with antidepressants and suicidal thoughts. It features interviews with Ozzy (shot before he died), widow Sharon and children Kelly, Aimee and Jack, along with musicians who appear in the film, and family members describe the July Birmingham farewell concert as a “living wake.” Despite his suffering, Ozzy completed albums including Ordinary Man and Patient Number 9, performed what was billed as his last show for roughly 42,000 in-person fans and millions online, and finished a memoir, Last Rites, shortly before his death. The family says they have been buoyed by an enormous public outpouring of love as the documentary presents an unflinching account of his final years.
