Jack Osbourne Shares Heartbreaking Farewell Message to Dad Ozzy Osbourne: ‘My Heart Is Full of So Much Sadness’

Jack Osbourne Promises That Ozzy Osbourne Biopic Will Be For the People, Not ‘Artsy, Esoteric’

The late metal god's son said the script for the untitled movie is done and that the search for a director is on.

Though he was a world-renowned heavy metal icon and rock god, Ozzy Osbourne was also a man of the people. Yes, he lived in a lavish mansion and reaped riches during his life, but Ozzy never forgot his hardscrabble, working-class roots and maintained a cheeky, self-deprecating sense of humor until his death at age 76 in July 2025.

So it makes sense that in a new interview with E! News, son Jack Osbourne promised that the in-the-works Ozzy biopic will preserve his dad’s straight-shooting demeanor. “I have this mantra, and I always say it, when in meetings with my mom or doing anything with the family business. It’s, ‘give the fans what they want,'” said Jack. “That’s our people, that’s who we’re catering for, that’s what my dad wrote music for, that’s what he toured for, it’s why we did the shows we did. It’s been a big theme.”
