The new documentary, *Ozzy: No Escape from Now*, offers an intimate look into the late rockstar Ozzy Osbourne’s long and painful struggle with severe pain and depression in the years leading up to his death in July 2025. Filmed between 2021 and 2025, the film also highlights Ozzy’s battles with Parkinson’s disease, which worsened following complications from a 2019 neck surgery.
### Family Frustration Over Health Decline
Ozzy’s son, Jack Osbourne, openly expressed his frustration over the impact of the surgery on his father’s health. He said the surgeon “stripped him of his abilities to move” and reflected on how much of this could have been avoided. Jack explained, “The Parkinson’s is progressing, but the main problem is the nerve damage from the bad neck surgery.”
Similarly, Ozzy’s close friend Billy Morrison shared how difficult it was to witness the singer’s suffering during his post-touring years.
### Devastating Impact on Ozzy’s Well-being
Two years after the 2019 neck surgery, Ozzy’s health began to steadily decline. His wife, Sharon Osbourne, revealed that the surgeon “caused even more damage” by placing unnecessary metal plates in his neck. Sharon emotionally recalled, “Some days, he wishes he was dead. He’s in so much pain, he can’t take it. He just wishes he could go.”
The documentary highlights the heavy toll that chronic pain and illness took on Ozzy’s mental health, revealing his moments of despair and longing for relief.
### An Undying Passion for Performing
Despite his immense suffering, Ozzy remained determined to continue performing. In the documentary, he apologizes to Sharon for being “a burden” but expresses an unwavering commitment to his craft. “I am determined to get back on stage even if I have to be nailed to a board and wheeled on. Survival is my legacy,” he said.
Ozzy Osbourne passed away at the age of 76 and was laid to rest in Buckinghamshire, England. *Ozzy: No Escape from Now* offers a heartfelt tribute to his resilience, passion, and enduring legacy in rock music.
