A new documentary has revealed that Ozzy Osbourne made heartbreaking future plans with his wife, Sharon, just weeks before he died.
The Black Sabbath singer tragically passed away aged 76 on July 22nd, with his cause of death announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.
He left behind his wife, Sharon Osbourne, with whom he had been married for 43 years, and with whom he shared three children - Aimee, 42, Kelly, 40, and Jack, 39.
And now, an emotional new feature-length documentary, Ozzy: No Escape From Now, gives fans a glimpse into unseen footage of the rock icon’s life over the past six years.

The doc was produced in collaboration with the Osbourne family and will premiere on Paramount+ on Tuesday (7 October), following Ozzy as he battled health issues and pushed to make his final homecoming gig happen.
One heartbreaking moment in particular saw Ozzy talking about what life will look like after Black Sabbath's farewell Aston Villa concert, which took place on 5 July.
He poignantly talked about how he was excited to spend more time with Sharon, relaxing after moving back to the UK.
But as we know, tragically, Ozzy died less than three weeks after the concert on July 22nd.
Speaking in the documentary, a few weeks before the gig, Ozzy told Sharon: "The English summer is fantastic. I'm looking forward to getting this show over, hanging my mic up, and spending some time with you.
"We’ve never been free and after this gig we’re free.”
Sharon emotionally added: “July 5th. Full stop, take a bow, come home. I just want to live a life. That’s all I want to do.
"Find a little bubble somewhere and just live out our life together, just doing stuff we want to do.”
Elsewhere, she described Ozzy as 'Iron Man' because of 'all of the things that have broken down in his body,' adding: "Not only physical all of the pins and rods that are in his body, but mentally too.”
The tear-jerking doc also saw the rock and roll legend reflect on his 'great life' and career, as he acknowledged his life may be coming to an end.
Ozzy admitted: “I didn’t think I was gonna live past 40. I shouldn’t have lived past 40. But I did. And if my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain. I’ve had a great life.”
He later said about the gig: "I’m nervous, it’s my last hoorah, so it’s gonna be pretty emotional going up there.
"I just hope I don’t think of Sharon when I’m up there, or the f**king tears will start coming. We’ve done a lot of miles together me and my old girl.
"This is it, this is the last thing. And I’ve accepted it, you know.”
He later added: "All I can say is I’m working my balls off to get myself ready for Villa. I wanna feel confident enough to pull it off because it’s gotta be the best f**kin show in the world. Otherwise, what’s the point in doing it?"
Sharon teared up as she added: "He said to me the other night, I think I'm gonna cry on the last show, and I said, of course you are.
"I think there’s going to be a lot of tears from a lot of people. Ozzy has gone full cycle. He became, conquered, had a brilliant career, and it ended in a brilliant way.”
Ozzy: No Escape From Now will premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on Tuesday, October 7, in the US and internationally, excluding Japan
