It was a crazy train.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Paramount+ documentary \u201cOzzy: No Escape From Now\u201d covers the metal legend\u2019s final six years and health battles leading up to his death in July 2025<\/a> at age 76.\u00a0<\/p>\n Premiering Tues. Oct. 7, Paramount never intended it to be a posthumous project.\u00a0<\/p>\n The two-hour film features interviews with Ozzy before his death, his widow Sharon, 72, daughter Kelly, 40, son Jack, 39, and even publicity-shy oldest daughter Aimee, 42. A slew of musicians also weigh in, including Billy Idol and Slash.<\/p>\n The doc covers the Black Sabbath frontman\u2019s ailing health <\/a>amid the making of his 2020 album \u201cOrdinary Man\u201d and his 2022 album \u201cPatient Number 9,\u201d <\/a>his appearance with Black Sabbath to perform at the 2022 Closing Ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in the UK, behind the scenes of his 2024 induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and his July farewell concert in Birmingham shortly before his death<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Here are the biggest revelations.\u00a0<\/p>\n The rock icon ultimately died from<\/a> on July 22, 2025 cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson\u2019s disease.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, his condition took a downturn <\/a>in Feb. 2018 when he sustained a fall. He subsequently had to cancel his 2019 world tour, and in 2023, he called his health issues \u201cfive years of absolute hell.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n Onscreen, Kelly recalled that her father was rushed to the hospital after that fall, but they initially sent him home and said he was fine.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cThe next day, he couldn\u2019t move his arms,\u201d Sharon said.\u00a0<\/p>\n When they sent him back to a different hospital the following day, Ozzy and his family were told that \u201che\u2019d broken his f\u2013king neck,\u201d Kelly said.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s just insane to me that they let him out of the first hospital, anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n Following that diagnosis, they were told that he needed surgery.\u00a0But Ozzy said he woke up \u201ccompletely f\u2013ked\u201d and felt like, \u201cwhat the f-k have they done to me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Jack recalled his father\u2019s spirits being high at first. \u201cGoing into surgery, I was there, he was laughing. He was in his hospital bed, supposedly with a broken neck, dancing.\u201d<\/p>\n But, Jack said, \u201cHe comes out of the surgery, and he\u2019s far worse than when he went in.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Sharon said that after that 2018 surgery, they got an opinion from a different doctor who told them that Ozzy\u2019s neck surgery had been overly \u201caggressive.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n They put metal plates and surgical screws in him, \u201cwhich didn\u2019t need doing\u201d and \u201ccaused even more damage,\u201d the former \u201cThe Talk\u201d host explained, adding that the next doctor tried to \u201cpatch him up,\u201d but the \u201cmain damage was done.\u201d<\/p>\n Jack said about Ozzy\u2019s health: \u201cThe Parkinsons is progressing, but the main problem is the nerve damage from the bad neck surgery. That f\u2013king doctor stripped him of his abilities to move.\u201d<\/p>\n He added, \u201cIt makes me so angry, because I felt like all this could have been avoided.\u201d<\/p>\n According to Sharon, the surgical screws they put in him during that first botched neck surgery were \u201ccoming loose and chipping the bones,\u201d and the \u201cbone fragments\u201d under his spinal cord were causing damage.\u00a0<\/p>\n She recalled, \u201cit was just one thing after another. While he was in hospital for 3 months, he developed blood clots.\u201d<\/p>\nHis family said he survived a broken neck\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
