Ozzy Osbourne and his family pull back the curtain on the final years of his life in the Paramount+ documentary OZZY: NO ESCAPE FROM NOW, the first trailer for which is out now. The Tania Alexander-directed film will be released Oct. 7, less than three months after Osbourne’s death at the age of 76.
“The thing about getting old — I used to take pills for fun. Now I take them to stay alive,” Osbourne says in the trailer for the doc, which spotlights his struggles with significant health problems and his efforts to get back into the recording studio and onto the live stage.
Alexander began work on the documentary in early 2022 while Osbourne was making his Grammy-winning album Patient Number 9 with producer Andrew Watt. She also captured the lead-up to Osbourne’s final solo and Black Sabbath performances on July 5 in his hometown of Birmingham, England, which featured an array of the biggest names in hard rock and metal.
NO ESCAPE FROM NOW is loaded with appearances from Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan and Slash, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, Tool’s Maynard James Keenan, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan and longtime Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, among many others.
“This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years,” his wife and manager Sharon Osbourne said previously. “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. 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.”
Also arriving on Oct. 7 is Osbourne’s second memoir, Last Rites, which will be released by Grand Central Publishing/Hachette Book Group.
