Ozzy Osbourne fell into a deep depression in the final years of his life as a result of various health problems.

The Black Sabbath frontman died at the age of 56 on 22 July, just 17 days after he appeared onstage for the Back to the Beginning farewell concert held at Villa Park in his native Birmingham, England.

But in the new documentary Ozzy: No Escape from Now - which was filmed between 2021 and early 2025 - Ozzy speaks candidly about his struggles and confessed he even considered suicide at one point.

"The thought of not doing any gigs before, I went really into a depression," he said in the footage. "I'm on antidepressants now, actually. I was getting f**king ready to off myself at some point, but then, I'll go there in my head, and I'll go, 'What are you f**king talking about?' Because knowing me, I'd half-do it and I'd be half-dead... I mean, I wouldn't die, you know? That's my luck."

Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne, attributed the change in his mood to not being able to perform onstage as much and the metal plates put in his neck during an operation in 2019.

"Some days, he wishes he was dead. He's in so much pain, he can't take it. He just wishes he could go," she admitted.

Elsewhere in the film, Ozzy and Sharon's son, Jack Osbourne, claimed the surgeon who operated on the rocker's neck "stripped him of his abilities to move".

"The main problem is the nerve damage from the bad neck surgery. Yes, the Parkinson's is progressing. Yes, it's showing up in various ways... It makes me so angry because I felt like all of this could've been avoided. It didn't have to happen," he tearfully added.

Ozzy publicly revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in early 2020. He also battled several infections in 2019 after sustaining serious injuries from a fall in his Los Angeles home.
