The BBC delayed its release of a documentary about rock legend Ozzy Osbourne's final years out of respect for his family's wishes.

*Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home *was originally scheduled to air on BBC One on Monday, but was removed from the schedule earlier that day. The network said that it had been "moved in the schedules," but didn't initially offer an explanation for the change in schedule.

On Tuesday, BBC released a statement saying: "Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time. We are respecting the family's wishes to wait a bit longer before airing this very special film. The new [transmission] date will be confirmed shortly."

*Coming Home *covers Ozzy's return to the U.K,, his farewell concert in July, and his death at the age of 76 later that month.

The hour-long film was originally a 10-part series that followed Ozzy and wife Sharon Osbourne's "attempt to re-start their lives" in Buckinghamshire.

Ozzy revealed his plans to return to his native U.K. after more than two decades in Los Angeles in 2022. At the time, the musician said he'd been impacted by the volume of mass shootings in America, noting both the rising number of school shootings and the lingering terror of the 2017 Las Vegas shooting that struck the Route 91 Harvest music festival.

"Everything's f---ing ridiculous there. I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It's fucking crazy," Osbourne told *The Observer*.

The Las Vegas tragedy left 61 dead and 867 injured after a gunman opened fire from the nearby Mandalay Bay hotel while country singer Jason Aldean was on stage.

"And I don't want to die in America," Osbourne added. "I don't want to be buried in f---ing Forest Lawn," Osbourne added.

While the Osbournes did make the move, as the former Black Sabbath frontman's health deteriorated, the series was converted to a single, hour-long film depicting the last three years of his life.

Osbourne died July 22, at 76. The cause of death was cardiac arrest and "acute myocardial infarction," with coronary artery disease and Parkinson's disease with autonomic dysfunction listed as "joint causes," according to his death certificate.**

The musician's friends and loved ones laid him to rest in an emotional funeral procession in Birmingham, England, on July 30, which was livestreamed as it arrived on Broad Street, where the Black Sabbath Bridge and bench monuments were transformed into public memorials for the heavy metal pioneer.

Sharon, as well as their children Kelly Osbourne and Jack Osbourne, appeared visibly emotional as they exited a vehicle behind the hearse and left flowers alongside all the bouquets, balloons, photos, letters, and gifts left at the memorial.**

Shortly before his death, the original Sabbath lineup reunited one last time at Back to the Beginning, the band's farewell concert in Villa Park, Birmingham. After performances by groups like Alice in Chains, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, and Metallica, Osbourne played five songs from his solo career, followed by performances of "War Pigs," "N.I.B.," "Iron Man," and "Paranoid" with the original Black Sabbath lineup.

"I just want to say to you on behalf of the guys in Black Sabbath and myself, your support over the years has made it all possible for us to live the lifestyle that we do," Osbourne said just before the final song. "Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I love you. We love you."**
