The BBC has postponed a documentary about Ozzy Osbourne<\/a>‘s final years out of respect for the Prince of Darkness’ family.<\/p>\n Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home<\/em>\u00a0was initially scheduled to air\u00a0on BBC One on Monday night, but the project was removed from the schedule earlier that day and replaced with an episode of\u00a0Fake or Fortune?<\/em><\/p>\n “Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time,” the BBC<\/a> said in a statement. “We are respecting the family’s wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film. The new [transmission] date will be confirmed shortly.”<\/p>\n Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home<\/em> will cover the metal icon’s return to the U.K., his Back to the Beginning farewell concert on July 5 and his death less than three weeks later at the age of 76.<\/p>\n READ MORE:\u00a0<\/strong>All the Set Lists From Ozzy’s Back to the Beginning Concert<\/a><\/p>\n The BBC notes the project was initially conceived as a 10-part series titled\u00a0Home to Roost<\/em>, which would have followed Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne’s\u00a0“attempt to re-start their lives” in Buckinghamshire, England. But as Osbourne’s health declined,\u00a0Coming Home<\/em>\u00a0instead became an hourlong film depicting the last three years of his life.<\/p>\n The network previously described the film as a “moving and inspirational account of the last chapter of Ozzy’s life, told through unique and intimate access to the whole Osbourne family, including Sharon, Jack and Kelly.”<\/p>\n READ MORE<\/strong>: Ozzy Osbourne Albums Ranked<\/a><\/p>\n Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76 after dealing with various health issues for years.
