VMA Tribute To Ozzy
Following the news of Osbourne's death, Yungblud posted an emotional tribute to his icon.

Following the news of Osbourne's death, Yungblud posted an emotional tribute to his icon.
On Instagram, along with a photo of the two deep in conversation, he wrote: "I didn’t think you would leave so soon the last time we met you were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room. But as it is written with legends, they seem to know the things that we don't. I will never forget you - you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.
"Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough.
"You took us on your adventure - an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time."
Osbourne died in July 2025 at age 76 just weeks after the Black Sabbath star took to the stage one final time with his bandmates at a farewell concert in England.
After his death, his family released an emotional statement: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.
"He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family's privacy at this time.
"Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis."
