In a concluding discussion, the iconic performer the Black Sabbath frontman proclaimed he would modify zero aspects about his journey, appearing in a touching film recorded before his passing.

The heavy metal pioneer passed away in July 76 years old, less than three weeks after an all-star goodbye performance in his birthplace.

What a great way to exit that gig was, he said in a concluding conversation for the program.

Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home followed the last three years of his existence and aired recently. The 60-minute feature was first intended for release this past August, though rescheduled acknowledging the relatives' requests to wait a bit longer.

Ending Sentiments

I've experienced great joy, he was heard saying toward the conclusion of the program. I've endured hardships and triumphs, you know.

It's been an amazing journey. If given another chance, I wouldn't change a damn thing.

The Last Show

He additionally mentioned how his sentiments nearly got the better of him throughout the emotional final gig at Villa Park in early July.

During the program, Kelly, his daughter commented that the entire crowd was emotional at the venue as he performed Mama, I'm Coming Home – a piece composed for the couple by the late rocker.

I couldn't get the words out, remembered the star, noting that it proved agonizing to remain in a chair on an elevated chair while playing as a result of a severe back injury.

The sole aspect that proved extremely aggravating for me, I was required to remain seated rather than moving freely onstage, the iconic performer commented.

I wanted to get up and deliver passionately. It proved quite moving to remain in that seat throughout multiple tracks.

As well as Black Sabbath, the gig presented acts from an array of artists they influenced, including Metallica and Guns N' Roses.

Physical Difficulties

Ozzy, who announced previously that he had Parkinson's disease, featured in the days after the concert stating he would be retiring from public life.

Initially famous for his musical career and legendary exploits, the UK-born artist along with his relatives transferred to California in the noughties and became the stars of their own trailblazing reality TV show, their family show.

The program tracks the Osbourne couple while they organized their goal to return to their home in Hertfordshire, UK.

I have no desire to be interred in the United States, he declared in the documentary.

The program also depicts his rehabilitation efforts and exercising with spinal and leg assistance in his persistent effort to appear onstage one last time.

He wants that opportunity to take his leave to his fans properly, noted Sharon.

Kelly – who features in the program with her siblings, his additional offspring with his wife – shared: I consistently believed my father was untouchable. Yet the song subject wasn't really made of iron.

Career Influence

As the voice of his band, the Birmingham-born musician is credited as an originator of hard rock music, due to tracks such as his legendary works.

However, he experienced numerous medical issues. He suffered significant harm in an off-road vehicle incident in 2003, and suffered spinal damage in an evening tumble several years back, that eventually resulted in him having to cancel his extended goodbye concert series.

Final Releases

His memoir, Last Rites will be posthumously published next week.

An extract shared disclosed that the late star developed septicemia early this year, and it was really touch and go for a period.

The whole family essentially believed I was a goner, he wrote.

He also revealed he underwent treatment for eight days in medical care shortly after returning to England this past May due to worries related to his cardiovascular health.

And he wrote that before leaving Los Angeles, he had replaced his old addictions involving substances and drinking with fruit. I grew dependent on the snack briefly, he said.

No common varieties, please note. They needed to be Pink Lady apples... I reached a stage where some nights I ingested multiple apples.

He continued: It got to the point which demanded to seek help for my apple habit. It's surprising I never arose one day with an apple tree sprouting out of my arse.

Closing Ceremonies

After his passing, the musician was honored with an emotional send-off as his coffin took a final journey across Birmingham, watched on by thousands of fans calling out his title.

An additional program covering his final half-decade of his life, named No Escape From Now is scheduled for release on the streaming service this autumn.
