The BBC has revealed it delayed an hour-long documentary about Ozzy Osbourne at the last minute at the request of his family.

The film about the musician’s final years was suddenly pulled from listings on Monday, with the corporation making no comment about the decision. Its scheduled screening was less than a month after Osbourne’s death. It was also less than three weeks after his wife, Sharon, and their children appeared before crowds in his home city of Birmingham.
