Originally appeared on E! Online<\/a><\/p>\n

Ozzy Osbourne<\/strong><\/a> was living life to the fullest until the very end. <\/span><\/p>\n

A little more than tw<\/span>o months after the <\/span>Black Sabbath<\/strong> singer died July 22 at the age of 76, a trailer for <\/span>Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home<\/span> reveals the final years of the rock star\u2019s life with wife <\/span>Sharon Osbourne<\/strong><\/a>, and how they felt about their family, which included kids <\/span>Aimee Osbourne<\/strong>, 42, <\/span>Kelly Osbourne<\/strong>, 40, and <\/span>Jack Osbourne<\/strong>, 39. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the trailer, released Oct. 1<\/a>, Sharon insists their family life is normal, to which Ozzy jokingly replies in his own confessional, \u201cI wouldn\u2019t say we\u2019re f–king normal.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Later in the trailer, Ozzy\u2019s wife of 43 years asks him if he wants a \u201cquiet life\u201d and he says, \u201cNo, yes. But no.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the upcoming documentary, set to release Oct. 2, also gives a glimpse at Ozzy and Sharon\u2019s mundane life together. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s very romantic,\u201d Sharon admits elsewhere in the clips. \u201cHe still leaves me little notes. I\u2019ll open a drawer and there\u2019s a little note from him.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Later, Kelly also shares what it is like for them to see her parents somewhat slow down. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t be him without people staring\u2014he\u2019s Ozzy Osbourne,\u201d she explained, later adding of both her parents, \u201cI don\u2019t think it\u2019s possible for either one of them to retire, ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

And because the documentary centers around Ozzy\u2014also dad to <\/span>Jessica Osbourne<\/strong>, <\/span>Louis Osbourne<\/strong> and <\/span>Elliot Osbourne<\/strong> with ex <\/span>Thelma Riley<\/strong>\u2014and Sharon returning to their native England, the \u201cCrazy Train\u201d singer also shared how he feels to have left Los Angeles. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI feel like I\u2019m finally home,\u201d he admits in another confessional. \u201cThis is my home.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sharon then asks her husband what he\u2019s looking forward to about being home in Birmingham, he jokes, \u201cDoing absolutely nothing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The upcoming BBC documentary was originally set to premiere Aug. 18<\/a>, but was abruptly pulled from the broadcast schedule out of respect for the Osbourne family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was an incredible privilege to spend the last few years with Ozzy, as well as Sharon, Jack and Kelly,\u201d the project\u2019s producers,<\/span> Ben Wicks<\/strong> and <\/span>Colin Barr<\/strong>, said in a statement shortly after Ozzy\u2019s death. \u201cOzzy wanted to make it back to the U.K. and appear on stage one last time\u2014our film is an inspiring and poignant account of him fulfilling that dream.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ozzy, born John Michael Osbourne<\/strong> in Birmingham, England, in 1948, struggled with school early on. It was his passion for music that ultimately helped him move forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cI left school with a little more education than when I first started going,\u201d he told The Associated Press in 2010. \u201cBecause of my dyslexia, I couldn\u2019t learn. So, I was teased a lot by one of my sister about not bing able to read. It\u2019s very shameful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for The Beatles<\/strong> turning me onto music in a big way, I don\u2019t know what I would have done,\u201d he continued. \u201cMusic has been the main thing that got me out of the area, the place I was born.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
