The BBC has released the trailer for Coming Home, a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne that is set to debut on Oct. 2. The clip showcases Osbourne and his wife Sharon Osbourne “as they plan their dream of moving back to the U.K.”

The trailer opens with the couple traveling in the back of a car. “I’m so looking forward to an English summer,” Osbourne notes in an interview. As they arrive at their Buckinghamshire mansion, Sharon explains that the couple had “always referred to this as home.” “It looks magnificent, Sharon,” Osbourne replies.

The musician is asked by Sharon if he wants “a quiet life” in his older years and replies, “No… Yes, but no.” Their daughter Kelly Osbourne chimes in, “I don’t think it’s possible for either one of them to retire, ever.”

Coming Home was initially set to air on Aug. 18, but was pulled from the TV schedule at the last minute due to “the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer.” The one-hour documentary, directed by Paula Wittig, was filmed over three years. It was originally announced as a series, Home To Roost, in 2022, but the project evolved as Osbourne’s health continued to deteriorate. The metal legend spent the last few years of his life battling Parkinson’s disease, as well as injuries he sustained from a late-night fall in 2019. 

The BBC has described the show as a “remarkably candid and uplifting tribute” to one of the world’s “true icons.” It feature s“unique and intimate access” to the whole Osbourne family, and also contains footage of Osbourne working to get in shape for his farewell concert, which took place in early July, just a few weeks before his death

Paramount+ recently premiered the official trailer for its own Osbourne documentary, No Escape From Now, which also spans the past three years of the musician’s life. That release arrives Oct. 7.

Coming Home will premiere on BBC One and iPlayer on Oct. 2 at 9 p.m. BST.

 

Zara Larsson has indicated that she may have cancelled her December 3 appearance at the Formula One Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The singer initially confirmed that she would not attend, before removing the comment and sharing a more detailed explanation of why the performance no longer feels right for her.

The Swedish star was scheduled to take the stage at Etihad Live on Yas Island during the Yasalam After-Race Concerts. Zara and Lewis Capaldi were due to launch the weekend’s entertainment. However, supporters encouraged her to reconsider the booking because of concerns surrounding the United Arab Emirates’ reported connections to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces, a paramilitary organisation accused of committing atrocities during the nation’s civil conflict.

A fan commented: “Please read about what UAE is doing to Sudan then cancel your Abu Dhabi show!” Zara responded: “I will not be going to Abu Dhabi.” Fans later realised that both comments had been removed.

She then shared that she had been considering what it means for her, as an artist, to perform in particular countries.

The Midnight Sun singer explained: “I think about that a lot in my life as an artist… I wanna perform and spread joy and music for people in every country, because no single person is their government.

“I’ve met so many wonderful people from every corner of the world and I know this to be true in my heart. I love people, and I love my fans soooo much.”

Zara acknowledged that her original comment “maybe came off as an impulsive response,” but explained that she had given the booking serious thought. She now believes withdrawing is the decision that “aligns with me the most right now, for many different personal reasons beyond politics.”

She continued: “Maybe I’ll delete both comments and do a better statement soon. I hope to sing with you in the beautiful future!”
