VMAs 2025 Honors Ozzy Osbourne with Epic Tribute
At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, a powerful and emotional tribute was paid to the late Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary “Prince of Darkness,” who passed away in July at the age of 76. The moment became one of the highlights of the night, not just for rock fans, but for anyone who has been touched by Osbourne’s influence on music and culture.
The tribute was introduced by his son Jack Osbourne and several of Ozzy’s grandchildren, who shared heartfelt video messages with the audience. Jack spoke about how much it would have meant to his father to see his legacy celebrated in such a big way, while the grandkids playfully echoed one of Ozzy’s most iconic rallying cries: “Let’s go crazy!”
From there, the stage was taken over by a lineup of heavy-hitting musicians: Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, British rocker Yungblud, and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt. Together, they powered through a medley of Osbourne’s most beloved songs, including “Crazy Train,” “Changes,” and “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” Yungblud led the charge vocally, channeling Ozzy’s energy with a raw, passionate performance, while Tyler and Perry brought their signature rock fire to the mix. Bettencourt’s guitar work added an extra layer of electricity, making the performance feel both nostalgic and fresh at the same time.

It wasn’t just about the music—it was about remembering how deeply Ozzy had shaped rock and roll. Over the years, he became more than a frontman for Black Sabbath or a solo artist. He became a cultural figure. MTV played a huge role in that transformation, thanks to the reality show The Osbournes , which ran from 2002 to 2005 and gave fans a peek into his family life. It helped cement his place not only as a rock legend, but also as a pop culture icon.
His career had countless milestones: a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2002, decades of groundbreaking music, and even a final reunion with his original Black Sabbath bandmates in July, just before his passing. That last show, bittersweet and powerful, reminded fans of the unshakable bond between Ozzy and the band that started it all.
As the VMAs tribute reached its finale, all the performers on stage shouted together, “Ozzy forever, man!” It was a raw, unpolished moment, and it struck a chord because it didn’t feel like just a performance—it felt like a farewell from the music community to one of its greatest icons.
The night proved that Ozzy Osbourne’s impact will never fade. His songs, his spirit, and his wild energy are destined to live on, carried forward by both the legends who shared the stage with him and the new generation of artists he continues to inspire.
