Ozzy Osbourne’s music video for “Under The Graveyard” is rather tough to watch. It’s a mini-documentary of sorts. The video opens with a young Sharon Osbourne talking about how Ozzy had gone missing. Taking place in the late 1970’s we see a young Ozzy drinking and doing drugs and partying and drinking some more.

This spirals out of control we see Sharon going to look for Ozzy, who is incapacitated in a hotel room. She finds him and they begin a journey back to recovery.

The actors playing Ozzy and Sharon are Jack Kilmer and Jessica Barden. In the video, Kilmer and Barden talk about the roles they are playing and the motives of Ozzy and Sharon.

“I think he was strung out after Black Sabbath; I think the band fired him, and then I think he was just ready to give up on life.” Kilmer says.

Barden then discusses Ozzy as well, as she prepares for her role as Sharon.

“I think he came to the hotel to die,” Barden says. “It’s this really awful moment in his life when he didn’t have anything else left to live for.”

“That’s when Sharon came into his life like an angel and revived him,” Kilmer adds. “To prevent him from going out and get wasted, Sharon would steal his clothes. So what he would do is just take her dresses.”

Ozzy Osbourne commented about how intimate of a portrayal director Jonas Akerlund and actors Jack Kilmer and Jessica Barden pulled off.

“For ‘Under the Graveyard’ Jonas (Akerlund) developed the story into a ‘mini movie,’” Osbourne says. “But, to be quite honest, it’s hard for me to watch because it takes me back to some of the darkest times in my life. Thankfully Sharon was there to pick me up and believe in me. It was the first time she was there to fully support me and build me back up, but it certainly wasn’t the last.”

“Under The Graveyard” is the first song off Ozzy’s forthcoming record Ordinary Man, due out early 2020.
