🎸Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now – A Final Bow from the Prince of Darkness

This is Ozzy Osbourne like you’ve never seen him before. Honest. Vulnerable. Unflinchingly human. Paramount+ has announced Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now, a feature-length documentary that captures the rock legend’s most difficult chapter yet—his health struggles, his battle with Parkinson’s disease, and his dream of performing one last time.

Premiering later this year, the documentary promises to be both a love letter to fans and a raw exploration of mortality, proving that the Prince of Darkness still carries the same mischievous spark, even in the face of overwhelming odds.

🎬 The Story Behind the Darkness

The film dives deep into the moment Ozzy’s world changed forever—his fateful fall in 2019. What followed was six years of surgeries, health complications, and the shocking diagnosis of Parkinson’s.

Ozzy admits candidly:

“The last six years have been full of some of the worst times I’ve been through. There’s been times when I thought my number was up. But making music and making two albums saved me. I’d have gone nuts without music.”

Through it all, music remains his anchor. From the studio sessions of Patient Number 9 to the possibility of one last performance, the film captures the fight of a man who refuses to be silenced.

🎤 One Last Stage: Villa Park

The documentary will follow Ozzy as he prepares for what could be his final live show—an all-star Black Sabbath reunion at Villa Park in Birmingham on July 5th.

For Ozzy, it’s more than a concert. It’s closure.

“My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye to them. That is what the Villa Park show is about.”

🌟 The People Who Know Him Best

Featuring full access to the Osbourne family—Sharon, Kelly, and Jack—as well as close friends and collaborators, the film paints an intimate portrait of the man behind the myth.

Key contributors include:

• Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath)

• Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses)

• Robert Trujillo (Metallica)

• Billy Idol

• Maynard James Keenan (Tool)

• Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)

• Zakk Wylde

• Andrew Watt (producer of Patient Number 9)

Sharon Osbourne frames it with heartfelt honesty:

“This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years. It shows how hard things have been for him and the courage he has shown… We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy.”

🎥 The Making of No Escape From Now

Directed by BAFTA-winner Tania Alexander, the film began production in early 2022, capturing Ozzy during the recording of his 13th studio album. Produced by Echo Velvet, in partnership with The Osbournes and MTV Entertainment Studios, the documentary was shaped with unprecedented family access and a promise of total honesty.

Paramount+’s Bruce Gillmer sums it up:

“Ozzy is forever woven into Paramount’s brand DNA, especially his history with MTV — Headbanger’s Ball, Battle for Ozzfest and of course The Osbournes. Given our storied past with Ozzy, Sharon and the whole family, we were determined to land this project and share it with fans worldwide.”

⚡ Final Note

More than a rock documentary, No Escape From Now is a meditation on survival, love, and legacy. For fans who grew up worshiping the Prince of Darkness, this film offers a rare chance to see Ozzy stripped of theatrics and laid bare as a man, a husband, a father—and still, a musician to his core.
