Remembering Ozzy Osbourne – The Redemption Behind “Mama, I’m Coming Home”

Today, we honor the Prince of Darkness: Ozzy Osbourne, who has passed away, leaving behind one of the most legendary and unfiltered legacies in the history of rock ‘n’ roll. From his groundbreaking days with Black Sabbath to a solo career that defied all odds, Ozzy wasn’t just a rock star—he was a survivor, a showman, and above all, a voice for the outcasts. His life was chaos and brilliance in equal measure, and somehow, through every fall, he got back up louder than ever.

In this special "From the Vault" episode, we revisit one of Ozzy’s most personal and redemptive moments—his 1991 hit “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” At a time when his life and career were spiraling, Ozzy nearly lost everything, including his family. After a violent outburst that landed him in jail and on the verge of ruin, he found a path back...not just to music, but to the woman who saved his life. This ballad, written for his wife Sharon, became an anthem of remorse and healing, and marked one of the most unlikely comebacks in rock history.

This is the story of Ozzy’s fall... and rise. The pain, the redemption, and the song that said it all: Mama, I’m Coming Home.

Mama, he’s coming home. For good this time. Farewell, Ozzy.
