Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home, the BBC documentary that followed the final months of his life, was set to premiere last night, but was been pulled from the schedule.
A BBC spokesperson says, "The film has moved in the schedules and we'll confirm new broadcast details in due course."
Filmed over three years, it was described as "an intimate glimpse into [the Osbourne family's] journey as they prepare to return to the U.K. It features family moments, humor, reflection and shows the enduring spirit that made Ozzy a global icon. We hope it brings comfort and joy to Ozzy's fans and viewers as they remember and celebrate his extraordinary life."
Meanwhile, production continues on a bio-pic on Ozzy and his wife Sharon.
Ozzy was 76 when he died of a heart attack at his Buckinghamshire estate on July 22nd.
In other Ozzy News, the Birmingham's Aston Villa Football Club, at whose stadium Ozzy and Black Sabbath did their final show (July 5th), paid tribute to him Saturday during their opening Premier League match with Newcastle United.
There was a video tribute at the start of the game before the two teams walked out to the pitch to footage of Osbourne performing ‘Crazy Train’ at that last show.
And Bostin’ Brass, the band that performed at Ozzy’s funeral procession in Birmingham, did songs from his and Sabbath's catalog in the stadium’s fan zone. And the the program for the match contained an illustration of Ozzy walking up the steps to the stadium wearing a number-9 jersey with his name, Ozzy, above it.
