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.

 

Jade Thirlwall has been learning to lean into a softer approach with her voice as she steps into life as a solo performer.

The former Little Mix member shared that she’s been carving out her own sound since the British girl group decided to go on an indefinite break in 2022.

Speaking with ELLE, Jade opened up about discovering that not every track on her debut solo album, That's Showbiz Baby, needed a full vocal showcase.

“That’s what I’ve discovered with this project, especially after Little Mix, is that I don’t always need to give a big vocal moment,” she said. “It’s actually been really nice to understand that part of my voice.”

She pointed to the group’s 2016 single Power, which has at times faced online comments about being a little too intense vocally.

“I’ll scroll through TikTok and see people talk about Power like, ‘These girlies are out here like, AHHH,’” she told the outlet. “Everyone trying to top each other with the loudest note for three minutes straight.”

Although Jade still loves that kind of performance, she said she’s learned the value of holding back.

“I still adore that energy, but it’s been kind of freeing to realise, babe, it doesn’t always need to end with this massive ad-lib run,” she shared.

She also mentioned that her song Angel of My Dreams was first recorded with a much bigger vocal take before she decided to go back and do it in a more relaxed, softer tone.

Jade officially dropped That's Showbiz Baby on 12 September. The record includes 14 tracks, among them IT Girl, Plastic Box, and the lead single Angel of My Dreams.
