“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,” the Black Sabbath vocalist, 76, said in a statement. “But making music and making two albums saved me. I’d have gone nuts without music.”

Per the release, the documentary began filming in early 2022 as Ozzy was recording sessions for his 13th studio albumPatient Number 9.

The documentary will continue filming this summer as the “Paranoid” musician attempts to take the stage for one final performance with Black Sabbath at Villa Park in his hometown of Birmingham, U.K. on July 5.

In a statement,Sharon Osbournecalled the forthcoming project an “honest account” of what her husband has been through over the past few years.

“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 said. “It’s about the reality of his life now. We have worked with a production team we trust and have allowed them the freedom to tell the story openly. We hope that story will inspire people that are facing similar issues to Ozzy.”

The documentary will also feature Sharon, 72, and their children, as well as Ozzy’s bandmate Tony Iommi (Black Sabbath),Duff McKagan(Guns N’ Roses), Robert Trujillo (Metallica),Billy Idol, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Zakk Wylde, producer Andrew Watt and friend/musician Billy Morrison.

The project is slated to premiere on Paramount+ later in 2025.
