Around the world
For those of us who grew up listening to Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath before "The Osbournes" made the entire family a mainstream media entity in the early 2000s, there is a little bit of Ozzy we keep for ourselves. Something that only reveals itself when we hear him cry "All aboard" at the start of "Crazy Train."And that's why "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" released just weeks after his death will hit hard...
Here's how to watch "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.
'Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home' - Dates, time, channel
"Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" airs on Monday, August 18 on BBC One at 9.00 p.m. BST. It is also available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
• WATCH FREE — BBC One/ BBC iPlayer (U.K.)
• Watch anywhere — try NordVPN 100% risk free
Yes, he was hilarious (both intentionally and unintentionally) but the stories about bats and doves and urinating on the Alamo while wearing his wife's dress were our stories to tell . How many fans of "The Osbournes" have heard of Randy Rhodes? How many of them had "Bark at the Moon" on green vinyl? But let's not be precious. This bona fide working class hero and rock legend now belongs to the world.
This was originally going to be a three-part docseries called "Home to Roost" but Ozzy's deteriorating health necessitated several changes and so we now have a tight, poignant one hour film shot over three years but, crucially, capturing the final weeks of his life as he tried to fulfill his promise to play one final gig in his home town of Birmingham. He died two weeks later.
Read on to find out how to watch "Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" online, on TV and from anywhere.
