Emotional ‘Ozzy: No Escape From Now’ Documentary About Final Years Sets October Air Date: ‘I Had a Great Life’

The documentary Ozzy: No Escape From Now was never intended to be a look back at Ozzy Osbourne‘s life. But now, the definitive chronicle of the heavy metal icon’s final six years will tell the story of those difficult times via interviews with friends and family, including the prep for what would be Ozzy’s final show, the July 5 all-star Back to the Beginning blow-out in his home town of Birmingham, England.

The movie directed by BAFTA Award-winner Tania Alexander will premiere on Paramount+ on Oct. 7 in the U.S. and internationally (excluding Japan). The project was produced in collaboration with the Osbourne family, with Ozzy and wife/manager Sharon — as well as their children, Aimee, Jack and Kelly — opening up about the late-night fall Ozzy suffered in Feb. 2019 that led to the rocker canceling his planned two-and-a-half-year farewell tour.

“The thing about getting older, you know, I used to take pills for fun,” Ozzy says in the new two-minute trailer for the doc (see below). “Now I take them just to stay alive.” The couple’s eldest daughter Aimee, 42 — who has typically eschewed publicity and participation in the family’s TV and film ventures — says in the film that the fall was devastating for her dad.

“He was in hospital for weeks. To fall like that and not be able to bounce back like he had in the past, and then having to cancel the tour – that was his biggest heartbreak,” she says. The film details the series of corrective surgeries Ozzy endured following the accident, as well as the cascade of health issues he suffered after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and the mental and physical impact of the chronic pain on the music he made in the years after.

The trailer opens with Sharon saying that inveterate road dog Ozzy’s one big regret was that he “never really said goodbye his fans” after his series of health issues. Kelly talks about the fall that resulted in Ozzy breaking his “f–king neck,” with Jack adding that his dad came out of the surgery “far worse.” The subsequent cancellation of the planned 2019 and 2023 No More Tours II tour was “his biggest heartbreak” Aimee says.

Kelly describes taking Ozzy to the studio every day, where the “magic would begin” as he worked on what would be his final two solo records, 2020’s Ordinary Man and 2022’s Patient Number 9. Fans will see Ozzy recording his vocals from a red throne, chatting in the studio with Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and producer Andrew Watt, with the latter asking him how he was able to tap into being a “psychopath, mental patient” so easily.

“I had a lot of practice,” Ozzy says to both mens’ delight as he calls making music again “the best medicine I ever had. I’m not good at being sick. I belong up there.” At one point, Sharon asks Ozzy what he thinks of having one big, send-off finale show, to which he says, “If I’m going to be go there, I want to be the old Ozzy.”

The movie also has Ozzy revealing that his collaboration with Post Malone on the song “Take What You Want” — which was instigated by Kelly and Watt — helped to kick-start what would turn out to be the final, rousing chapter of his music life. “It got me out of the blues. It helped me. That was the best medicine I ever had at that point,” Ozzy says in the movie of recording the song from Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding album.

In addition to the Osbourne family, the film will feature interviews with Ozzy’s Sabbath and solo band members guitarists Tony Iommi and Zakk Wylde, as well as the Chili Peppers’ Smith, Rage Agains the Machine’s Tom Morello, Smashing Pumpkins leader Billy Corgan, Metallica singer/guitarist James Hetfield and bassist Robert Trujillo, Billy Idol, Guns N’ Roses’ Duff McKagan, Tool’s Maynard James Keenan and many more.

“If my life’s coming to an end, I really can’t complain,” Ozzy says at the end of the trailer. “I had a great life.”

It’s the final new music Friday (April 24) of the month, and everyone from Noah Kahan to Kehlani and Suki Waterhouse have put forth some of their best work as May waits just around the corner.

This week, Vermont’s favorite folk-rock singer-songwriter finally returned with a new album after four years of Stick Season, his breakout album that reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200. The Great Divide is 17 tracks of Kahan reexamining his worldview after struggling with his mental health in the years since he found fame.

And, as if taking cues from the success of first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit “Folded” (which reached No. 6 on the chart in January), Kehlani leans fully into classic R&B flavors in an intentional push to recenter the genre’s traditions. “All the R&B artists, we want R&B to be back,” the artist told Billboard ahead of being named Billboard Women in Music’s Impact honoree. “We want good, long songs. We want three verses and bridges and modulations and all the things – we want that too. We just didn’t think anybody else wanted it. I have an allegiance to the genre, and I’ll keep it there.”

On top of the bounty of new albums, several artists have released fresh singles — including Suki Waterhouse, who returns with “Tiny Raisin” shortly after announcing her next album, Loveland, as well as Hayley Kiyoko and Gigi Perez, who teamed up for heartfelt duet “Collide.” Plus, Dylan Gossett adds “My Boy” to the mix, written as a letter to his son.

But which release is your favorite this week? Let Billboard know by voting in the poll below.

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

It’s been almost three decades since the LA-based casual wear brand Juicy Couture first hit store shelves, and the Hollywood-loved label has made its way back into the spotlight in recent years thanks to the Y2K trend resurgence and newfound love from influencers online.

Best known for its T-shirts, handbags and yes, those velour tracksuits (reportedly designed exclusively for Madonna at first), Juicy Couture pieces were seen on practically every major celebrity in the 2000s, from Paris Hilton and Britney Spears, to Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian. Musicians like Miley Cyrus, Nicole Scherzinger and even Beyoncé have also been spotted wearing Juicy Couture, and now, a new Amazon deal makes it easy for you to get into some JC as well.

Juicy Couture Cap Sleeve T-Shirt (Five-Pack)

$38.24 $44.99 15% off

Buy Now On Amazon

Amazon is selling a five-pack of Juicy Couture T-shirts right now for just $39. Part of the “Juicy Sport” line, the cropped T-shirts are made from a super soft and breathable “performance” fabric that features a touch of spandex for easy movement and stretch.

That makes the T-shirts as ideal for a workout or yoga session as they are for pairing with your everyday ‘fits. The crop top look leans into the Y2K aesthetic and Amazon’s website shows the shirts styled with shorts, leggings and mini skirts alike.

This Amazon deal gets you five Juicy Couture T-shirts for under $40. That brings the price of each tee down to less than $8 — a virtually unheard of deal for generic T-shirts, let alone a brand name pick.

We like the five-pack above, which gets you a T-shirt in two shades of pink (including a light pink with the signature Juicy Couture cherries), plus navy blue, gray and black. You can choose from other color combinations online. The tees are available in sizes small to XXL.

And if you need a bag to take to the gym (or for an overnight stay), we like this mini barrel-style duffle bag, on sale for 43% off. The two-tone bag measures approximate 8.2 x 4.9 inches in size, which is enough room for your wallet, keys, change of clothes and toiletries. Choose to carry the bag via the top handle or with the detachable shoulder straps.

All of the above picks are officially-licensed products sold through Amazon’s Juicy Couture storefront. As with all Amazon deals, the sale prices could end at anytime, so we recommend adding the deals to cart while they are still live.

Head Back to Hawkins With New ‘Stranger Things: Tales From ’85’ Soundtrack

Netflix is bringing us back to the ’80s, and it’s making sure we have the right music for the occasion.

On Wednesday (April 22), Billboard can exclusively reveal that an original soundtrack is coming this week for the brand-new animated spin-off series Stranger Things: Tales From ’85. The score album, composed by Brad Breeck (Gravity Falls, We Bare Bears), will be released globally Thursday (April 23) at midnight ET.

Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 also arrives Thursday on Netflix, bringing viewers back to the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, in the ’80s and reuniting us with some of the original show’s main characters. And much like Stranger Things, music plays a large role in the new show.

“This collection bridges the gap between the eerie depths of the Upside Down and the vibrant, neon energy of the mid-’80s,” Netflix said in a statement.

Tales From ’85 will feature not only a brand-new version of the original Stranger Things theme song, but the first episodes also include a selection of ’80s hits from artists like Black Sabbath, Billy Idol, Cyndi Lauper and more. Needle drops throughout the series include “We Got the Beat” by The Go-Go’s, “A Forest” by The Cure and “We’ll Meet Again” by Vera Lynn, “Rebel Yell” by Idol, and Lauper’s Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Time After Time.”

If it’s anything like the original show, artists with songs played in the new series could see a bump in streams and chart placements in the aftermath of the show’s premiere. After featuring the songs in pivotal moments, Stranger Things brought Kate Bush‘s “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” to a new peak of No. 3 on the Hot 100 in 2022, 37 years after its initial release, while Metallica’s “Master of Puppets” made its debut on the chart the same year, 36 years after it came out.
