“I’ll do what I can, sir.” That’s all Wolfgang Van Halen said when he was asked to honor Ozzy Osbourne at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Polite. Humble. Understated. But what came next? Pure chaos—in the best way possible. The second Chad Smith, Robert Trujillo, and Andrew Watt hit their first notes, the air changed. Then Ozzy stormed in, ripping through “Crazy Train” like it was 1981 all over again—wild, loud, and alive. But just when the crowd thought they’d seen it all, Maynard James Keenan and Wolfgang came charging in, guitars blazing, lighting the place on fire. The energy was insane. And it didn’t stop there. Zakk Wylde and Jelly Roll followed up with a haunting, soul-crushing version of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” that had people wiping their eyes. And just when you thought your heart couldn’t take more, Billy Idol exploded onto the stage with “No More Tears,” shaking the walls and blowing the roof straight off. This wasn’t just a tribute. It was a thunderstorm of sound, sweat, and raw emotion—a night no one there will ever forget👇👇👇

Tobias Forge dedicated Ghost’s sold-out New York Madison Square Garden concert to Ozzy Osbourne on Tuesday night (22nd July). Metal legend Ozzy Osbourne died on Tuesday morning just 17 days after playing his final show at Black Sabbath’s farewell Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park in Birmingham. Ghost frontman Papa V Perpetua – aka Tobias Forge – was one of the numerous icons from the rock world who performed at the star-studded event, singing Ozzy Osbourne’s ‘Bark at the Moon’. Shortly before launching into ‘The Future Is a Foreign Land’ at Ghost’s Madison Square Garden gig last night, Forge paused proceedings to honour Ozzy. The Swedish rocker told the capacity crowd: “Good evening, New York City! How are you? It’s one of those days now. We’re going to dedicate tonight’s show to the memory of the life and laughter of Ozzy Osbourne.” With the audience breaking into a spontaneous chant of “Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!”, Forge added: “For being the Prince of Darkness, he sure gave us a lot of light. So we’re going to tap into that and carry it forward, through a time of darkness…

“They Called Him the Prince of Darkness… But at Home, He Was Just ‘Granddad’” Behind the heavy eyeliner and thunderous guitars, Ozzy Osbourne lived for the quiet moments: tea parties in the backyard, lullabies whispered in hoarse rockstar tones, and messy finger paintings proudly taped to his studio walls. In a rare glimpse into his softer side, never-before-seen family photos have surfaced — showing Ozzy holding his newborn grandchildren, playing peekaboo with toddlers, and even dressed as Santa Claus one chaotic Christmas morning. In one heart-melting shot, little Pearl kisses his cheek as he fake-growls like a monster. Another shows all the Osbourne kids piled on him like a human dogpile, giggling uncontrollably. For fans who only knew the wild man of metal, these images tell a different story — of a man who traded tour buses for bedtime stories. And now, those memories are the most precious encore of all. See the photos that melted every metalhead’s heart…..full story below 👇👇👇

Steven Tyler stepped up to the podium, his signature colorful scarves hanging loosely from the microphone, but this time he didn’t rush to sing. He looked around the chapel at the friends, family, and legends weeping quietly, then spoke in his raspy voice: “I used to call him the Prince of Darkness… but to me, Ozzy was always the light in every room he walked into. He saved me more times than I can count, and he taught the world that we have the right to be loud, to be wild, to be ourselves.” Tyler placed a trembling hand on the casket and whispered, “I’m gonna miss you, brother,” before finally breaking into a raw, aching rendition of Dream On. Every note cut through the chapel like a wound, leaving no one able to hold back their tears. FULL VIDEO BELOW 👇👇👇

The chapel fell into absolute silence as Bob Dylan slowly walked toward the wooden podium where the microphone awaited him. No stage lights, no grand orchestra — just a frail man with a weathered guitar, the same one that had followed him through half a century of restless roads. Dylan sat down, bowed his head for a moment as if speaking to the friend he had lost, then began strumming the first chords. His voice — rough, raw, and achingly real — carried not just grief but the memories of a wild, unrestrained era of rock. He wasn’t singing for the crowd; he was singing for Ozzy, for the brotherhood they shared, for the days when music was rebellion and survival. As the ballad reached its final note, Dylan quietly placed his hand on the casket and whispered, “Rest easy, brother.” In that moment, no one in the room could hold back their tears.

The most emotional moment came when Mick Jagger, flanked by Bono and Aretha Franklin, led the entire hall in a rousing, tear-filled version of “Gimme Shelter.” Ozzy, seated beside his wife Sharon in the wings, could be seen nodding along, eyes glassy with emotion. Weeks later, the world would wake to the news: Ozzy Osbourne had passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by family. Suddenly, that DVD — once just another rock release — became his final curtain call. Fans now speak of it in whispers, as if invoking a sacred relic. Vinyl reissues of the audio sold out within hours. Rock radio stations around the world played the full set uninterrupted. For many, it was a reminder of what rock once was — and who it would never be again. WATCH BELOW 👇👇👇

ChatGPT said: “She Didn’t Say a Word — But the Tears Said Everything”: Lady Gaga’s Heartbreaking Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne Leaves Fans in Silence It wasn’t on the setlist. No one expected it. But as Lady Gaga stood alone beneath a single spotlight in Milan’s San Siro Stadium, 60,000 fans held their breath. Dressed in all black with Ozzy’s iconic bat emblem stitched to her jacket, she sat at the piano and whispered, “This is for the Prince of Darkness.” Then came a slow, aching rendition of “Changes” — the Black Sabbath ballad that once echoed with Ozzy’s pain. Gaga’s voice cracked on the chorus. By the second verse, she was openly crying. The crowd didn’t cheer. They wept. Behind her, a giant screen displayed never-before-seen photos of Ozzy — not the wild rocker, but the devoted father, the quiet survivor. When the final note faded, Gaga simply looked up and whispered, “Rest now, legend.” The silence that followed said it all……full story below 👇👇👇

The room was wrapped in a heavy, almost sacred silence as Eric Clapton — a brother in music and a witness to rock’s golden age — walked forward, carrying his weathered guitar, scarred by decades of life and loss. Without a speech, without ceremony, he sat, cradled the instrument like an old friend, and began to play “Tears in Heaven” — a song once born from his deepest personal grief, now reborn as a farewell to the “Prince of Darkness.” The trembling yet tender notes, joined by his raw, time-worn voice, filled the space with a sorrow too profound for words. Seasoned rockers wept quietly, family members held one another, and every soul in the room felt the weight of goodbye. As the final chord faded, Clapton whispered, “Rest easy, brother,” laying the guitar beside the casket — a parting gift from one artist to another. In that moment, it wasn’t just music; it was a soul reaching out to another, honoring a life lived in chaos, brilliance, and song. FULL VIDEO BELOW 👇👇👇
