In a poignant new BBC documentary filmed during the final three years of his life, Ozzy Osbourne and his wife Sharon are captured planning their return to England from their longtime home in Los Angeles. 'Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home,' set to air Thursday evening, follows the Black Sabbath legend as he prepares for what would become his final move. The documentary, originally conceived as a series called 'Home To Roost' in 2022, documents the couple's decision to relocate to the UK in 2025 after spending more than two decades in the United States.

The film reveals intimate moments between the couple at their Grade II listed Buckinghamshire property, Welders House, which Sharon describes as her 'little piece of heaven.' Ozzy, who was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, expresses both apprehension and anticipation about the move. In one revealing clip, he tells his daughter Kelly, 'I wouldn't say I'm excited. I'm kind of scared to back,' while acknowledging his wife's enthusiasm for their English home. 'I'm so used to being over here now but I've got to go back. I've got a house there and your mum said it's beautiful,' the rocker admits.

Tragically, Ozzy's homecoming plans were cut short when he died of heart failure on July 22, just two weeks after performing a farewell concert with his Black Sabbath bandmates at Birmingham's Villa Park. The 76-year-old rock legend was buried in the private grounds of Welders House, the very property featured in the documentary. Sharon, who had told filmmakers 'Home is where both of us are. As long as he is with me I am alright,' now finds herself living alone at the estate they had planned to share together.

The documentary captures bittersweet moments of the couple enjoying their Buckinghamshire property this summer, with Sharon expressing interest in adding more deer to the grounds while Ozzy makes plans to fish in the lake. These ordinary domestic scenes take on deeper significance in light of Ozzy's subsequent passing. The film serves as a final testament to the couple's enduring partnership and their shared vision for retirement in England, a vision that would remain unfulfilled despite their careful preparations and heartfelt declarations about their future together.

King Charles has joined forces with Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett in a previously unpublicized podcast recording focused on global conservation efforts. The 22-minute episode, titled "Unearthed: The Need For Seeds," was recorded in the private gardens of Windsor Castle in July and features the monarch alongside Blanchett and Kew seed scientist Dr. Elinor Breman. This marks only the second podcast recording in the King's public life, demonstrating his continued commitment to environmental causes that have defined much of his royal work.

The conversation centered on the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst, West Sussex, which King Charles originally opened in 2000 and has maintained an active interest in since. The facility represents one of the world's most ambitious conservation projects, having collected, cleaned, dried and stored nearly 2.5 billion seeds from more than 40,000 plant species in walk-in freezers maintained at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Both the King and Blanchett, who became Wakehurst's first ambassador last year, emphasized the critical importance of this work in preserving global biodiversity.

During the discussion, Blanchett expressed concern about the rapid loss of natural habitats, noting that "97 percent of wildflower meadows have been decimated" in recent decades. She highlighted the disconnect between perceived natural beauty and actual ecological fragility, stating that "there is an urgency to the work that the seed bank does." The King echoed this sentiment, reflecting on his long-standing awareness of environmental degradation, particularly the damage to flower-rich meadows since the postwar period.

The podcast also touched on broader conservation challenges, including the need for increased funding and public awareness. Blanchett pointed to the frustration of seeing "so many extraordinary initiatives right there ready to be scaled up" but lacking financial support and direction. King Charles acknowledged both the progress made and the need to accelerate conservation efforts, stating that while the seed bank's work is "wonderful," the process must speed up to address escalating environmental threats facing plant species worldwide.
