Ozzy Osbourne had a 'great life'
A trailer for No Escape from Now, the new Ozzy Osbourne documentary, has just been released.
Ozzy Osbourne enjoyed a "great life".
The Black Sabbath star passed away in July, aged 76, but Ozzy admitted to feeling fulfilled shortly before he passed away.
In a trailer for his new documentary, No Escape from Now, he says: "If my life's coming to an end, I really can't complain. I had a great life."
Ozzy battled Parkinson's disease in the last years of his life, and the singer reflects on his declining health in the documentary.
He says: "The thing about getting older, you know, [is] I used to take pills for fun. Now we take to stay alive."
Despite this, Kelly Osbourne, Ozzy's daughter, still has fond memories of taking her dad to a recording studio after he fell at his Los Angeles home in 2019.
Kelly recalls: "He'd get comfortable and it was like the magic would begin."
The film also focuses on Ozzy's farewell performance at Villa Park in Birmingham in July, which was staged less than a month before he passed away.
A synopsis for the documentary reads: "Detailing his numerous corrective surgeries, escalating health issues and the progressive effects of his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Ozzy: No Escape from Now delivers a brave, unvarnished and relatable portrait of a man, highlighting how Ozzy’s ongoing chronic pain impacted his mental health and informed the music he made during this period."
Plans to make the documentary were announced earlier this year, with Sharon Osbourne - Ozzy's wife - describing the project as an "honest account" of his health struggles.
Sharon - who married Ozzy in 1982 - said at the time: "This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years.
"It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson’s. It’s about the reality of his life now.
"We have worked with a production team we trust and have allowed them the freedom to tell the story openly. We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy."
