The premiere of the documentary chronicling the Ozzy Osbourne's final years has been postponed.

The documentary called Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home was originally scheduled to air Monday 18th August on BBC One. 

However, PEOPLE Magazine reported that the broadcast was pulled less than a month after Ozzy Osbourne’s passing on July 22 at the age of 76.

The BBC has not provided a new transmission date or specific reasons for the last-minute change. 

A spokesperson told Variety on, “The film has moved in the schedules and we’ll confirm new tx details in due course.”

The day after the announcement, the broadcaster released a statement citing the Osbourne family’s wishes. 

“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 statement read. 

It continued, “The new [transmission] date will be confirmed shortly.”

Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home is described as “a moving portrait of one of the world’s most entertaining families at a pivotal moment in their history,” capturing both the highs and lows of the Osbourne household during Ozzy’s final years.
