A new documentary, No Escape from Now, is set to premiere on Paramount+ in 2025, offering an intimate look at the life and health struggles of Ozzy Osbourne. Directed by BAFTA winner Tania Alexander, the feature-length film will explore the setbacks the legendary musician has faced since his fall in 2019, his ongoing battle with Parkinson’s disease, and how music remains his anchor through it all.
A Candid Look at Ozzy’s Health Battle
The documentary promises to go beyond Ozzy’s public persona to reveal the harsh realities he has endured. As the 'Black Sabbath' frontman, now 76, candidly admits: "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."
Despite these challenges, Ozzy credits music with keeping him going. The film began production in early 2022 while he was recording his 13th studio album, Patient Number 9, and will continue into 2025 as he prepares for a final farewell performance with 'Black Sabbath' at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, on July 5.

A Farewell to Fans
For Ozzy, this final performance is more than just a concert — it’s a chance to express gratitude. "My fans have supported me for so many years, and I really want to thank them and say a proper goodbye to them. That is what the Villa Park show is about." Sharon Osbourne describes the documentary as an "honest account" of her husband’s struggles.
"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 explains. "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 facing similar challenges."
A Star-Studded Tribute
In addition to Ozzy’s personal reflections, No Escape from Now will feature interviews with his family, including Sharon and their children, as well as fellow rock legends such as Tony Iommi ('Black Sabbath'), Duff McKagan ('Guns N’ Roses'), Robert Trujillo ('Metallica'), Billy Idol, Maynard James Keenan ('Tool'), Chad Smith ('Red Hot Chili Peppers'), Zakk Wylde, producer Andrew Watt, and Billy Morrison.

Earlier this month, Ozzy revealed that his mobility has significantly declined due to Parkinson’s. "I have made it to 2025," he said on his SiriusXM show. "I can’t walk, but you know what I was thinking over the holidays? For all my complaining, I’m still alive."
Despite these hardships, Ozzy is preparing for his final reunion with 'Black Sabbath', marking their first performance together in 20 years. As fans eagerly await both the documentary and the farewell show, No Escape from Now promises to be an emotional, unfiltered glimpse into the resilience of one of rock’s most enduring icons.
