The BBC has explained the sudden delay of the broadcast of Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, a one-hour documentary chronicling the “last chapter” of Ozzy Osbourne’s life. The reason was respecting the Osbournes’ family’s wishes. Originally scheduled to air on Monday (18), the film, explores the family’s struggles with Ozzy’s health, their dream of returning to the U.K., and his determination to perform again. A new air date will be announced soon.
BBC issued the below statement:
“Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time. We are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film. The new [transmission] date will be confirmed shortly.”
Meanwhile, new figures highlight the significant financial impact of Osbourne’s farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, held at Villa Park in Birmingham. According to the University of Birmingham via BBC’s reporting, the show generated more than $45 million, with roughly $37 million retained in the West Midlands region. The event sold 42,000 tickets, 20% to international fans, with prices ranging from £197.50 to £834. While early reports claimed the concert raised nearly $200 million, Sharon Osbourne dismissed those figures as “ridiculous.”
