Ozzy Osbourne's Unyielding Fight: A Look Inside 'No Escape from Now'

The documentary 'Ozzy: No Escape from Now' provides a poignant look at the life of the late Ozzy Osbourne, detailing his persistent health battles leading up to his passing in July. Reportedly, the legendary rock star succumbed to these challenges on July 22, weeks after his performance in Birmingham, UK.

Spanning 2021 to 2025, the documentary reveals Osbourne's fight against severe pain, depression, and Parkinson's disease, stemming from a botched neck surgery in 2019. The aftermath left him progressively weaker, compounded by unnecessary metal plates, according to his wife, Sharon.

The film highlights his emotional turmoil, with Sharon stating that Ozzy often wished for the pain to end. Their son Jack expressed anger at the medical mishap that stripped his father of mobility. Despite these setbacks, Ozzy's friend Billy Morrison remarked on the emotional toll of watching Osbourne's struggles.

Ozzy was candid about his health journey, particularly Parkinson's, speaking openly in 2020 and 2022 about his determination to continue performing. 'No Escape from Now,' directed by Tania Alexander, offers intimate insights into his enduring passion for music.
