Just hours after the world learned of Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, Lady Gaga delivered an emotional tribute that left fans speechless during her July 22 concert at San Francisco’s Chase Center.

As part of her dynamic “Mayhem Ball” tour, Gaga closed the show with a heartfelt nod to the late rock legend. When the lights dimmed for her final song, “How Bad Do U Want Me,” she walked onstage wearing a striking T-shirt featuring Ozzy’s face. Her dancers joined her, each sporting shirts boldly printed with “Ozzy.” It was a simple but powerful image—an arena full of people pausing to honor one of rock’s greatest.

After the final number ended, Gaga and her crew lined up at the front of the stage. As Ozzy’s iconic “Crazy Train” played through the speakers, the entire arena erupted. Gaga and her dancers began to headbang with the crowd, creating a moment that felt more like a rock ritual than a pop concert. Then, with tears in her eyes, she leaned into the mic and said just six words: “I’ll miss you, Ozzy. Always will.”

The tribute quickly spread across social media. One fan posted, “I didn’t expect to cry at a Gaga concert, but here we are.” Another wrote, “She didn’t just perform—she honored him the best way she could.”

A Bond Beyond Genres

Though they came from different musical worlds, Gaga and Ozzy had a deep mutual admiration. Over the years, Gaga often cited Ozzy as a creative inspiration. The two met in 2014 at the MusiCares Person of the Year event, where Sharon Osbourne stepped aside so Gaga and Ozzy could have a heartfelt moment together. They laughed, embraced, and posed for photos that fans still treasure.

Many hoped for a collaboration between the two boundary-pushing artists, but while it never happened in the studio, Gaga’s tribute on stage felt like a spiritual duet—her energy meeting his legacy in one unforgettable moment.

Saying Goodbye Through Song

Ozzy Osbourne’s family had confirmed his peaceful passing earlier that day. Surrounded by loved ones in the U.K., he died at age 76 after a long battle with Parkinson’s disease. Just weeks earlier, he gave his final performance at a historic Black Sabbath reunion in Birmingham.

Gaga’s tribute felt perfectly timed—a spontaneous act of respect and remembrance from one icon to another. As one fan online put it, “Ozzy would’ve loved it. A little bit wild, a little bit loud, and full of heart.”

In those few minutes of music, love, and memory, Gaga gave fans a chance to grieve—and celebrate. As “Crazy Train” thundered on and Gaga’s voice rang out, the night became more than a concert. It became a goodbye.

The world lost a rock legend on July 22, 2025, when Ozzy Osbourne — the iconic “Prince of Darkness” and frontman of Black Sabbath — passed away at age 76. As fans, fellow artists, and celebrities flooded social media with tributes, one voice stood out in quiet heartbreak: Sharon Osbourne.

Just days before his passing, Sharon, Ozzy’s wife of 43 years, gave a rare and emotional interview, offering a touching glimpse into their life together — the highs, the lows, and the kind of love that survives everything.

“I Fell in Love With His Chaos,” Sharon Says

In a deeply moving interview aired on AXS TV, Sharon shared memories that felt like pages from a love story few truly knew.

“I fell in love with his chaos, his energy, and the way he lived like every day was his last,” she said. “Ozzy never wore a mask. What you saw was who he was — wild, brilliant, broken, funny, and beautiful. And I loved all of it.”

Their life together was anything but ordinary — filled with adventure, turmoil, and moments of pure magic.

43 Years of Loyalty, Love, and Unbreakable Bond

Married since 1982, Ozzy and Sharon weathered storms that could have shattered anyone else: addiction battles, public struggles, private heartbreaks, and the demands of fame.

“Ozzy called me his rock,” Sharon shared softly, “but really, he was my wind. He pushed me forward, carried me through storms, and lifted me higher than I ever imagined.”

Together, they raised three children — Aimee, Kelly, and Jack — and built a life full of both mess and meaning.

“He Knew It Was Coming… But He Hated Pity”

As Ozzy’s health declined, the toll of Parkinson’s and multiple surgeries became hard to ignore. But Sharon said he never let the illness define him.

“He told me, ‘If I go out on stage, I’ll go out happy,’” she recalled. “That’s why the final concert in July mattered so much to him. It wasn’t just a show. It was his goodbye.”

That final performance, a reunion with Black Sabbath in Birmingham, now stands as a powerful closing note to a legendary career — and to a life lived loudly.

“The World’s a Bit Quieter Without Him”

As the interview came to a close, Sharon held back tears.

“He was my life,” she whispered. “And he still is. Ozzy wasn’t just my husband — he was a force. And now, without him, the world feels a little quieter.”

Her words reminded us that behind the fame and fire of Ozzy Osbourne was a man deeply loved — and a marriage that endured everything.

Through her candid memories, Sharon gave the world one last look at the man behind the music — a rock legend, yes, but also a husband, a father, and the love of her life.

Just weeks after standing side by side with Ozzy Osbourne one last time at Black Sabbath’s historic reunion in Birmingham, Tony Iommi has shared an emotional tribute following the rock legend’s passing at age 76.

“I just can’t believe it,” Iommi wrote on X. “My dear, dear friend Ozzy has passed away only weeks after our show at Villa Park. It’s such heartbreaking news—I can’t find the words. There’ll never be another like him. Geezer, Bill, and I have lost our brother. My heart is with Sharon and the entire Osbourne family. Rest in peace, Ozzy.”

That final show on July 5, titled Back to the Beginning, was a deeply symbolic moment for Sabbath and their fans. Ozzy, seated on a throne due to complications from Parkinson’s, gave one final performance in the city where it all began. The event raised an incredible £140 million for causes close to the band’s heart, including Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorns Hospice.

Tony wasn’t alone in expressing his grief.

Geezer Butler shared, “Goodbye dear friend… so glad we got to do it one last time, back in Aston. Love you.”
Drummer Bill Ward added, “Where will I find you now?… you’re forever in my heart.”

Ozzy passed peacefully on July 22, just 17 days after that emotional farewell — surrounded by family and love.

Tributes have poured in from every corner of the music world. Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin wrote, “Sail on up there… you truly changed the planet of rock.” Elton John, Metallica, Green Day, and countless others joined fans across the globe in celebrating Ozzy’s legacy.

Even Aston Villa FC, Ozzy’s beloved hometown football club, issued a heartfelt message: “Aston Villa Football Club is saddened… he always held a special connection to the club.”

Ozzy’s final show wasn’t just a concert — it was a full-circle moment. It was the sound of legends coming home. And as Tony Iommi said, it was the night Black Sabbath took their final bow — united, just as they began.

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, UK — July 22, 2025 — In a quiet corner of the Osbourne family’s country home, Kelly Osbourne paid tribute to her beloved father, Ozzy Osbourne, in a moment filled with love, music, and memories.

There was no stage, no cameras — just candlelight, close friends, and family gathered in the living room where Ozzy had once strummed chords and laughed with his children. On this deeply personal evening, it was Kelly’s turn to carry his legacy through song.

Holding her father’s worn acoustic guitar — the same one he used to play “Mama, I’m Coming Home” — Kelly took a seat near Ozzy’s favorite chair. That chair, now empty, seemed to hold its own silence, like it too was grieving.

With a soft voice and full heart, Kelly said,
“This song was once for my mum. Tonight, it’s for the man who taught me how to be strong, how to love, and how to live loud.”

Then, she began to play. Her version of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” was tender and stripped back, each note filled with emotion. She didn’t sing for the audience — she sang for her dad. When she reached the final line, “Mama, I’m coming home,” a gentle breeze moved through the room, almost like Ozzy was listening.

Sharon Osbourne sat quietly beside her daughter, holding her hand tightly. She didn’t say a word — her expression said everything.

There was no applause. Just a heavy, respectful silence. A moment where everyone felt the weight of goodbye — and the lasting power of love and music.

At his sold-out concert in Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on July 22, Alice Cooper took a heartfelt moment to honor his late friend and fellow rock legend, Ozzy Osbourne.

News had just broken that Ozzy, the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath and beloved “Prince of Darkness,” had passed away at the age of 76. The announcement from his family — wife Sharon and children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis — shared:
“It is with more sadness than words can express that we announce our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. He was surrounded by his family and by love.”

Before stepping on stage, Alice and his band huddled together backstage, placing their hands in a circle and chanting, “Ozzy! Ozzy!” — a touching moment of unity and respect.

In a video shared with fans, Alice reflected on Ozzy’s passing:
“We all know time eventually takes our rockers, but when the giants fall… it’s hard to accept. Even though we saw it coming, it still took our breath away. Ozzy, your records, your music, your humor — everything you gave to rock — it’ll live on forever. We’re going to miss you, man.”

During the show, Alice addressed the crowd again with deep sincerity:
“The whole world is mourning Ozzy tonight. He wasn’t just a showman or a cultural icon — he was family to us in rock. To me, Ozzy was part prince of darkness, part court jester. The world knew the wild side, but his family knew the loving, funny man behind it all.”

He added, “Rock and roll is a family. When we lose one of our own, it hurts deeply. I wish I had gotten to know my brother Ozzy even better.”

He ended his message with love to the Osbourne family:
“To Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and all of Ozzy’s loved ones — our prayers are with you. A mighty boulder has fallen, but the rock will always roll on.”

After closing the show with “Feed My Frankenstein,” Alice led the crowd in one final, thunderous chant:
“Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!”
A fitting farewell to a legend who changed music forever.

As the world continues to remember and honor the legendary Ozzy Osbourne, one tribute that stands out comes from an unexpected place — country superstar Carrie Underwood. During her appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 2023, Carrie delivered a stunning cover of Ozzy’s 1991 ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” At the time, it was simply a respectful nod to a rock icon she admired. But now, following Ozzy’s passing in July 2025, that performance carries even more weight and meaning.

More Than Country: Carrie’s Rock Roots

Carrie may be best known for her powerhouse country vocals, but her musical tastes have always been broader than one genre. Growing up in Oklahoma, she listened to everything — even when her mom wasn’t too thrilled about her Ozzy phase.

“I remember discovering Ozzy as a teenager,” Carrie told Howard Stern. “My mom wasn’t a fan, but I couldn’t help loving the emotion in his music.”

That connection came full circle in her heartfelt rendition of “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” a song originally written for Ozzy’s wife, Sharon. It’s one of those rock ballads that pulls at the heart — and Carrie gave it everything she had.

A Tribute With Heart and Permission

Before launching into the performance, Carrie made it clear that this was more than just a cover — it was a tribute. She and her team reached out to Sharon Osbourne beforehand to make sure it was okay. Sharon’s response? Incredibly kind and supportive.

“I just wanted to do it the right way,” Carrie said. “Ozzy’s music means a lot to me, and I wanted to be respectful.”

A Moment That Stopped Stern in His Tracks

Once the first notes hit, it was clear something special was happening. Carrie’s voice soared with raw emotion, and her band’s harmonies gave the classic song new life. Howard Stern was visibly moved.

“That was beautiful,” he said, asking them to repeat the harmonies on the spot. Carrie laughed, but happily obliged — giving fans one more chance to soak in the magic.

Carrie’s Rock ‘n’ Roll Side Shines Bright

Longtime fans know this wasn’t Carrie’s first foray into rock. She famously surprised the Stagecoach Festival crowd in 2023 by bringing out Axl Rose for a duet of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” and her setlists often feature Guns N’ Roses covers. It’s clear: rock runs deep in her musical DNA.

Carrie Underwood’s ability to honor legends from outside her genre — and do it with grace, power, and respect — shows why she remains one of music’s most versatile and beloved artists.

If you haven’t seen it yet, her moving cover is worth every second. It’s more than a performance — it’s a love letter to a legend. And somehow, we think Ozzy would’ve smiled hearing it.

The rock world is mourning the loss of a true icon. Ozzy Osbourne, the unforgettable frontman of Black Sabbath and the beloved “Prince of Darkness,” has passed away at 76. Though health battles gradually took him away from the spotlight, his presence never left the hearts of fans—and never will.

Tributes have poured in, but none hit harder than Metallica’s emotional goodbye. In a touching video shared on their official page, James Hetfield struggled to hold back tears. “Ozzy wasn’t just a legend,” he said. “He was our legend. He made it okay to be loud, weird, and real.”

The band then shared a powerful moment: a never-before-seen backstage clip of Ozzy and Metallica performing “Iron Man” and “Paranoid” together. The footage, taken during a surprise 2019 Power Trip festival performance, shows Ozzy—already walking with a cane—lighting up the stage with raw energy and his signature grin.

Backstage, Ozzy joked, “I might not remember the lyrics, but I’ll never forget the noise.” Even while in pain, he gave fans everything he had.

That duet was Ozzy’s final live moment with Metallica—a fiery farewell medley that fans now cherish as historic.

Metallica, deeply influenced by Black Sabbath, expressed their sorrow. Lars Ulrich wrote, “Without Ozzy, there’s no Metallica. He turned chaos into art.” Robert Trujillo, who once played bass for Ozzy, called him “my first boss—and the best one I ever had.”

Fans all over the world are sharing memories, lighting candles, and blasting Ozzy’s music. One comment summed it up best: “He didn’t just sing about darkness—he gave it beauty.”

Hetfield ended their tribute with a line that broke hearts everywhere: “We lost the voice in the dark. But the echoes? They’ll never stop.”

And as the clip fades, Ozzy looks back at the crowd and grins:
“Don’t miss me too much, yeah? I’m not done haunting you.”
