Ozzy Osbourne's son Jack Osbourne believes his father is "amongst the Paul McCartneys and Mick Jaggers of the world," although he notes that Ozzy "would never consider himself to be in that group."

Speaking to Collider about his recent projects, including Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne, Jack attests that his dad is no ordinary man, sharing, "My dad is in a very unique, small group of entertainers. It’s a very small class of people. When you look at his peers, which he wouldn’t consider his peers because he just doesn’t think that way, he really is amongst the Paul McCartneys and Mick Jaggers of the world."
“He would never consider himself to be in that group," Jack continued, "but he is, and it’s a dwindling group of entertainers. But yet, there’s a relate-ability to my dad, and I’m not sure everyone can necessarily relate to some of the world’s most famous, known recording artists.”
The film was slated to premiere during this year's South By Southwest, but with the conference being cancelled during the COVID-19 pandemic, it is now set to broadcast this summer on A&E.
Jack shared his hopes for the film, as he said, “I would like people to see that my dad isn’t just a one-dimensional figure, if they ever thought that he was.
“There are many aspects to him, and this is a good look at that. Because of the persona that people have seen my father as, it’s always, ‘What’s wrong with him?’ But I think this documentary rephrases it as, ‘What happened to him?’"

“My dad has had a very fortunate life," Jack admits, "but it’s been filled with a lot of turmoil, some of it self-inflicted and some completely out of his hands. This is an interesting look at that.”
