Ozzy Osbourne NOT Retiring: Rockstar Reflects on His Upcoming TV Return

Ozzy Osbourne will not leave the entertainment industry anytime soon, but he reportedly feels nervous ahead of his upcoming project.

BBC will release its reality series, "Home to Roost" featuring Osbourne and his family. The 10-part show will focus on the family's decision to go back to Buckinghamshire, England, after living in the US for decades. It came after he told the Observer he wanted to relocate after feeling fed up with mass shootings in the country.

At that time, he also said he did not want to die in the US and be buried at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Los Angeles.

Although he is no longer new to TV series, the Black Sabbath rocker revealed he is nervous about his TV project.

During the recent episode of his Sirius XM radio channel (via The Daily Mirror), the 74-year-old said he did not like the idea of having cameras record their personal lives again. But his wife, Sharon, reportedly persuaded him.

"I said, 'We are not having all that again,'" he said. "But she said it is only for a bit. It gave Sharon a new career. She has become the television person in our family. "

Amid his nervousness, Head of Documentary Commissioning for BBC Clare Sillery said in a statement that BBC is delighted to work with the Osbournes again. She hinted at "funny, moving, and honest insight" into the family in the new TV show.

It will mark one of Osbourne's projects while waiting for him to recover and perform on stage again.

Ozzy Osbourne Struggling for 4 Years

Following his and his wife's health struggles and his family's issues, he sat down for an interview with Billboard and talked about his "Patient Number 9" album's Grammy nominations and recent collaborations with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.

But elsewhere in the discussion, the rockstar also mentioned some of the health issues he has been struggling with.

"The last four years have been sheer hell for me," he said. "I've been in such a bad... health-wise. Plus I got Parkinson's diagnosis. But I'm... you know, [it] takes a lot to hold me down."

Osbourne underwent surgery in 2022 to realign the pins in his back and neck. He told Forbes that the injury caused him to tour again before the lockdown started.

As he remains recuperating, Osbourne pledged to mark his comeback stage soon and focus on his recovery for now.
