Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home – an extremely moving look into the rock icon’s final months

 

"n the final scene, footage of Ozzy’s funeral procession through the streets of Birmingham is overlaid with his own voiceover. “It’s been a great life,” he insists, in his trademark matter-of-fact Brummie style. “I wouldn’t change a damn thing.” I cried. This could quite easily have added up to a rather distasteful documentary: an attempt to control the narrative by his loved ones; an attempt to capitalise on a megastar’s death via a serendipitous TV commission; the repurposing of a dead man’s words to schmaltzy effect. But somehow it doesn’t feel cheap. Don’t go into this programme expecting an unsanitised deep dive into Ozzy’s life and work – instead appreciate this compellingly intimate and extremely moving farewell."
