The Grammys welcomed icons The Osbournes with open arms, as several artists paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne.
The Black Sabbath legend died aged 76 in July 2025, just weeks after the band reunited for a farewell gig in his hometown of Birmingham.
During the Grammys, Post Malone took his turn to bid the metal singer goodbye as he performed with rock icons for the In Memoriam section.
Also performing on stage were Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Slash and Duff McKagan from Guns ‘n’ Roses and Andrew Watt, who produced Osbourne’s Ordinary Man.
The country-pop star belted out War Pigs with plenty of pyrotechnics and an epic guitar solo from Slash and Andrew.
Cameras cut to Sharon, Kelly and Jack, all tearing up as they watched on with The Prince of Darkness’ picture flashing on the big screen.
Fans online declared the performance was ‘electric’ and ‘nicely done’, with Gloritone on X adding: ‘What a tribute’.
The Congratulations hitmaker previously worked with Osbourne on the song Take What You Want, which became the late singer’s first US Top 10 in over 30 years.
Post wasn’t the only one to pay tribute to the metal pioneer, with Yungblud also taking to the stage to shout out his ‘idol’.
Yungblud, real name Dominic Richard Harrison, took the microphone during the Premiere Ceremony, which shares some awards before the main show.
He won for best rock performance, having covered Changes at Black Sabbath’s Villa Park final show.
Walking on stage with the Osbournes, the singer said: ‘To grow up loving an idol, who helps you figure out your identity, not only as a musician, but also a man, is something I’m really grateful for.
‘But to then get to know them and honour them at their final show and receive this [his award] is something I am struggling to comprehend, we f*****g love you Ozzy’.
Sharon, 73, was cheering but looked a little teary, hugging Yungblud andNuno Bettencourt as the band celebrated the win.
‘The last time I saw Ozzy Osbourne, he asked me if there was anything he could do for me, and that the “music was enough”,’ Yungblud declared.
‘God bless Ozzy Osbourne and god bless f*****g rock music!’.
Elsewhere, Machine Gun Kelly also paid tribute to the rock legend, performing I Don’t Wanna Stop at Clive Davis’ Grammy Party.
The entire Osbourne family put on a united front at the Grammys, with rarely seen eldest daughter Aimee, 42, also in attendance.
Dressed in black, she sat at the table with her mum, brother Jack, 40, and her rumoured boyfriend Wes Leavins, who is the frontman for Brigitte Calls Me Baby.
Aimee opted not to take pictures on the red carpet, although the whole family coordinated in black outfits as a sign of respect for the late Ozzy.
In December, Sharon gave her first interview since the death of her husband, appearing on Piers Morgan Uncensored as she revealed they knew ‘he was ready’.
She shared: ‘He was up and down to the bathroom all night, and it was like 4.30 and he said, “Wake up”. I said, “I’m already bloody awake, you’ve woken me up”. And he said, “Kiss me”. And then he said, “Hug me tight”.
‘I can’t help wondering if I should have, could I have? If only I’d have told him I loved him more. If only I’d have held him tighter. And he went downstairs, worked out for 20 minutes and passed away.’
Osbourne died of a heart attack on July 22, 2025, just 17 days after he was seen on stage with Black Sabbath one final time.
