In a new TV documentary based on his long career, the former Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne details the night in 1989 that he decided he wanted to kill his wife, Sharon Osbourne.

"I felt the calmest I've ever felt in my life," he said in "Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne," according to People. "It was like serenity. Everything was just peaceful."

In the documentary, which aired on A&E on Monday, the couple talked viewers through a night when Ozzy Osborne began to choke Sharon Osborne while high on a collection of drugs.

"We'd had a couple of fights," she said. "You can tell it was building to something, you could just feel it. I just knew it was coming."

She said she had just finished putting their three children (Kelly, Jack, and Aimee) to bed that night and had retreated to her bedroom when her husband appeared inebriated.

"I had no idea who sat across from me on the sofa, but it wasn't my husband," she said. "He gets to a stage where he gets this look in his eyes where his shutters are down and I couldn't get through to him."

She said he simply turned around toward her and calmly said, "We've come to a decision that you've got to die," and then began to violently choke her.

"He was calm — very, very calm — and he lunged across at me," she said. "I felt the stuff on the table and felt the panic button and just pressed it. Next thing I know the cops were there."

Ozzy Osborne, who was taken into custody, said he didn't remember much about the incident. "All I remember is waking up in Amersham jail," the former rock star said. "I asked the cop, 'Why am I here?' and he says, 'You want me to read your charge?' So he read, 'John Michael Osbourne, you have been arrested for the attempted murder of Sharon Osbourne.'"

"It's not exactly one of my greatest f---ing achievements," he added, saying he was "very, very surprised" when his wife did not seek charges against him.

"Biography: The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne" features interviews with close family members of the legendary rock star formerly known as "The Prince of Darkness" as well as interviews with friends and fellow musicians such as Rick Rubin, Marilyn Manson, and Ice T.

Earlier this year Ozzy Osborne announced he had Parkinson's disease. During an interview with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America," the 71-year-old musician said he received the diagnosis in February of last year, which he said led to "the most painful, miserable year" of his life.
