A new documentary chronicling Ozzy Osbourne’s final months is set to be released in October, featuring a heartbreaking statement he made about his mortality.

On July 22, it was announced that the Black Sabbath frontman had died. The rocker was 76, with the coroner later revealing he’d lost his life to a heart attack.

He was also suffering from coronary artery disease in addition to Parkinson’s disease.

In honour of the music icon, a new documentary is heading to Paramount+ next month. It’s described as giving a ‘definitive account’ of the star’s ‘final act’.

Ozzy: No Escape From Now, which will work to paint an accurate picture of the Prince of Darkness’ last moves, will be available to stream from October 7.

Fans will hear how a fall he had in February 2019 aggravated injuries from a near-fatal quad bike crash in 2003, causing the star to spiral into a deep depression.

“I went smack,” he recalled about the late-night fall, which ultimately led him to cancel his extensive farewell tour.

The hitmaker and his wife Sharon Osbourne’s eldest daughter, Aimee, 42, said her dad was in hospital for weeks.

“To fall like that and not be able to bounce back like he had in the past, and then having to cancel the tour – that was his biggest heartbreak,” she said of the accident.

Eventually, Ozzy underwent surgery but struggled to adjust to life, according to former X Factor judge Sharon, 72.

“[He’d] be like… I’m not getting up. I’m not working with the physiotherapist. What’s the point?”

However, things took a positive turn when his youngest daughter, Kelly Osbourne, 40, instigated a musical collaboration with Post Malone, 30.

Ozzy said working on ‘Take What You Want’ helped him ‘get out of the blues’, referring to it as the ‘best medicine [he’d] ever had’.

Speaking about her side of the story, Kelly said in the documentary: “I took dad to the studio every single day. He would go into the studio in the basement of Andrew’s house and get comfortable in this chair that Andrew bought him and it was like the magic would begin.”

Ozzy: No Escape From Now also details how he dealt with his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis and fought against the odds to perform live at his farewell show in Birmingham.

The Back To The Beginning show, held at Villa Park, was attended by thousands and streamed by millions online.

Before the gig, the legend said that he only wanted to do the show if he could be ‘the old Ozzy’ up there on stage.

Thankfully, Ozzy made his dreams come true, singing five solo songs and four Black Sabbath tracks with his bandmates.

In another heartbreaking moment, the singer reflected on his illustrious career and the hell-raising antics he became infamous for in his youth.

“If my life is coming to an end, I really can’t complain.

“I’ve had a great life,” he uttered.

17 days after completing the Back To The Beginning gig, Ozzy died.

According to the film’s makers, Ozzy: No Escape From Now was ‘never intended as a posthumous film’.

However, they’ve now said the special project ‘stands as a testament to Ozzy’s courage, wit, determination, and talent – qualities that ensure he remains a hero to millions around the world’.

Contributions are made to the documentary by Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Duff McKagan and Slash from Guns N’ Roses and Billy Idol.

Alice In Chains’ Mike Inez, Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine, and Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan are also on hand to provide intimate anecdotes about Ozzy, as well as his family members.

You can watch Ozzy: No Escape From Now on Paramount+ on October 7.
