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.

 

Hardy took the stage on The Tonight Show for a moving performance of his song “Bottomland.” The country artist delivered the anthemic track solo, seated on an upturned log as the camera circled around him, adding an intimate touch to the late-night set.

“Bottomland” is featured on Hardy’s latest album, Country! Country!, which was released in September. The track finds the Nashville musician looking back on his upbringing as he sings, “Lord just take me as I am/ Bury me in bottomland/ I am just a country boy/ Where I come from didn’t have no choice/ But what I’ve done well or so I’m told/ So baby wear my watch, baby sell my gold.”

Country! Country! serves as Hardy’s fourth studio project and includes 20 songs, among them the single “Favorite Country Song.” In a recent episode of Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, Hardy opened up about the album, his decision to record a cover of the 1975’s “Love It If We Made It,” and how the 2022 bus accident that left him injured and dealing with PTSD shaped his new music.

Rolling Stone described the album as “surprising,” noting that beneath its surface, Country! Country! continues Hardy’s tradition of exploring deeper and darker themes. The publication pointed out that several tracks dive into thoughts of mortality and self-reflection, with at least eight songs addressing his own death or burial.

Hardy plans to bring Country! Country! to fans with a major tour next year. Announced in October, the Country! Country! Tour! will launch in February and continue through August 2026. The extensive run will include a strong rotation of supporting acts, such as chart favorite Tucker Wetmore, indie duo Muscadine Bloodline, and honky-tonk artist Jake Worthington. Cameron Whitcomb, Mitchell Tenpenny, and McCoy Moore will also join select dates on the tour.
