Black Sabbath’s story began in Birmingham where Osbourne, Iommi, Butler and Ward were looking to escape a life of factory work, and their first major break came when their eponymous debut album in 1970 made the UK top 10 and paved the way for a string of hit records.
Ozzy Osbourne’s health issues and upcoming final show with Black Sabbath will be chronicled in an upcoming feature-length documentary.
“Ozzy is forever woven into Paramount’s brand DNA, especially his history with MTV – Headbanger’s Ball in the 80s, Battle for Ozzfest and of course The Osbournes,” said Bruce Gillmer, president of music at Paramount and chief content officer of music at Paramount+.
He released his twelfth studio album Ordinary Man in 2020, followed by Patient Number 9 in 2022, which went to number three and two in the UK charts respectively.
Directed by Bafta winner Tania Alexander, the documentary will span from the recordings sessions of Osbourne’s album in 2022 to his final show in July.
