Rock legend Ozzy Osbourne lays bare his crippling health battles and near-death experiences in a new documentary.

Ozzy Osbourne is ready to reveal the brutal truth about his life in a deeply personal new documentary, No Escape from Now. The Black Sabbath frontman, 76, has endured years of physical decline, and for the first time, he’s confronting his darkest moments on camera.

Paramount+ confirmed the project on February 25, announcing that the documentary will offer an unfiltered look at Ozzy’s private struggles, including the devastating impact of his Parkinson’s diagnosis and the severe health setbacks following his 2019 fall. The film, directed by BAFTA winner Tania Alexander, is expected to premiere later this year.

Ozzy, never one to shy away from honesty, admitted in a statement that the last six years have been some of the worst of his life. “There have been times when I thought my number was up,” he confessed. “But making music and making two albums saved me. I’d have gone nuts without music.”

His wife, Sharon Osbourne, echoed his sentiments, calling the documentary an “honest account” of his reality. “It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown while dealing with a number of serious health issues, including Parkinson’s,” she explained. “We hope that story will inspire people facing similar challenges.”

The film has been in production since early 2022, capturing Ozzy’s journey as he worked on his 13th album, Patient Number 9, which was released in September of that year. But the story doesn’t end there—filming will continue this summer as Ozzy attempts a final, historic performance with Black Sabbath. On July 5, 2025, he plans to take the stage at Villa Park in Birmingham, marking his first time performing with the band in two decades.For fans, No Escape from Now is more than just a documentary—it’s a farewell letter from a rock legend who refuses to go quietly.
