Kelly Osbourne knew that her father, Ozzy Osbourne, would “never” get over his Black Sabbath exit prior to his death.
In Ozzy’s new documentary, “Ozzy: No Escape From Now,” the Osbourne family detailed the rock star’s health battles and struggles starting in 2018, and concluding with his death on July 22, 2025.
One moment in the documentary, Ozzy’s daughter said, “He’ll never get over getting fired from Black Sabbath.” In 1979, Ozzy’s fellow Black Sabbath bandmates – Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward — decided to part ways with him, citing his heavy drinking and drug use and the group’s creative difficulties.

Ozzy called his condition “crippling.”
In the documentary, Ozzy’s wife, Sharon Osbourne, was supportive the entire way. In the final scenes, Ozzy looked forward to hanging up his mic so he could spend more time with his wife.
“You are f–king Iron Man,” Sharon said of Ozzy, referring to one of Black Sabbath’s most iconic songs.

In “Ozzy: No Escape From Now,” the musician told the camera that he hoped he didn’t think of Sharon while he was up on that stage during his final concert because it would have brought him to tears.
Prior to his final performance, Ozzy reflected on his current health and admitted he didn’t expect to be alive in his 70s.
“I shouldn’t have lived past 40. If my life is coming to an end, I really can’t complain about it. It’s been a great life.”
“I shouldn’t have lived past 40,” Ozzy said. “If my life is coming to an end, I really can’t complain about it. It’s been a great life.”
During the documentary, Ozzy made it clear that he did not want to die a “nobody.” He said he came from nothing and explained that he had “voices” in his head that would just call him a failure. Ozzy nicknamed the voices “the committee,” which was a prominent theme on his last album, “Patient Number 9.”
