Directed by BAFTA Award winner Tania Alexander (Gogglebox, etc.), the film will chronicle Osbourne’s life since he suffered a fall in 2019 that gave him spinal damage. He announced he has Parkinson’s disease in 2020 and retired from touring in 2023.
As well as Osbourne and his family, including wife/manager Sharon, “No Escape From Now” will feature Ozzy’s Black Sabbath bandmate Tony Iommi, Duff McKagan (Guns N’ Roses), Robert Trujillo (Metallica), Billy Idol, Maynard James Keenan (Tool), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), guitarist Zakk Wylde, producer Andrew Watt and friend/musician Billy Morrison.
“Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now”
Produced by EchoVelvetLtd, in partnership with the TheOsbournesTV & MTV Entertainment Studios, the project offers a deeply personal portrait of the Rock legend’s harsh new realities and his battle to take the stage for one final performance.
Paramount+ today announced the production of “Ozzy Osbourne: No Escape From Now,” a new feature-length documentary that peers behind Ozzy’s public persona to reveal the devastating setbacks he has faced since his fateful fall in 2019. Currently in production, the project is slated to premiere on Paramount+ later this year.
This is Ozzy Osbourne like you’ve never seen before: an honest, warm and deeply personal portrait of one of the greatest Rock stars of all-time, detailing how the singer’s world shuddered to a halt six years ago, forcing him to contemplate who he really is, confront his own mortality and question whether or not he can ever perform on stage for one last time. Addressing his health issues and impact of his Parkinson’s diagnosis, the film showcases the central role music continues to play in Ozzy’s life – also proving his mischievous sense of humor remains resolutely intact despite it all.
Ozzy comments: “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. But making music and making two albums saved me [2020’s Ordinary Man and 2022’s Patient Number 9]. I’d have gone nuts without music.”
Adds Sharon: “This film is an honest account of what has happened to Ozzy during the last few years. 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. It’s about the reality of his life now.
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 that are facing similar issues to Ozzy.”
