Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was filmed across three years and in the BBC documentary the singer had a heartbreaking conversation with his wife just days before his death
Ozzy Osbourne shared a deeply moving conversation with cherished wife Sharon where he revealed what he was most eagerly anticipating – just days before his passing.
The touching exchange was filmed at their English countryside retreat in Buckinghamshire, where they brought up their family, merely five days following his final Black Sabbath performance at Villa Park.
It proved to be one of the most emotional scenes in the BBC One documentary Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home.
The 76-year-old rocker was sprawled on the sofa when Sharon, 72, posed the question: “What are you most looking forward to?”
Drained following his last gig, Ozzy, who fought against Parkinson’s disease, quipped: “Doing absolutely nothing.”
Sharon replied “ditto” before the heavy metal legend revealed his true feelings.
He declared: “Being with you Sharon… just being with you. We don’t have to be on phones to agents and things. I’m retiring from public life.”
Ozzy, who had earlier confessed in the show he was “scared” about returning to England, then continued: “If I had my legs I would love to build a vegetable garden.”
Sharon responded “we can get them here” and Ozzy replied: “I’ve done it before, it’s great… grow some weed?”
Sharon said “very funny” and Ozzy jested “you like a smoke now and again” before his spouse of 43 years chuckled and instructed him to “shut up”.
She then leaned over to kiss him, and after declaring her love for Ozzy, he responded: “Love you more.”
Sharon, capturing precisely how much her husband meant to her, shot back: “Couldn’t.”
Just two weeks following his final filming session, Ozzy passed away at home on July 22 with his loved ones by his side.
Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was filmed across three years, documenting the renowned pair’s return to England following roughly 25 years residing in LA.
The programme aired deeply personal moments, including the duo discussing their decision to leave their children, Kelly and Jack, along with their cherished grandchildren behind.
The hour-long documentary also captured Ozzy discussing mortality, with one segment revealing his hatred of funerals.
However, reflecting on his personal perspective of death, he remarked: “I don’t believe in heaven or hell – I think heaven and hell is here. Sometimes it is heaven, sometimes it is hell.
“When I was 20 I used to say I will be dead before 40 and that was alright until I was 39-and-a-half.
“I used to worry about dying, more then, in those early days than I ever do now. The things I’ve done to my body, I should be f***ing dead anyway. It’s taken a long time to get to this place where I am.
“I am in a quite good frame of mind these days.”
