Details

Description

This video reveals the shocking true story behind Ozzy Osbourne's only solo Top 40 hit, "Mama, I'm Coming Home". While the song sounds like a simple love ballad to his wife Sharon, the reality involves decades of childhood sexual abuse, Sharon's father setting attack dogs on her causing a miscarriage, and Ozzy's 1989 arrest for attempted murder of the very woman the song was written about. Discover how a melody that haunted Ozzy for years became his biggest hit when Lemmy Kilmister wrote lyrics about longing for a home that had caused so much pain, and why this song represents both salvation and Ozzy's deepest fears
