Osbourne’s son Jack introduced the tribute, along with his four daughters, through a pretaped video saying: “I wish we could be there with you all tonight as you celebrate my dad’s amazing musical journey. I know for sure it would make him incredibly happy to see these great musicians carry on his legacy and help inspire the next generation of rockers.”

Jack also gave a “special shout-out” to the artists who took part in the tribute and to conclude the video, Osbourne’s granddaughters signed off by shouting loudly, “In the words of our Papa, let’s go crazy!” Then, Yungblud kicked off the tribute with Osbourne’s “Crazy Train” before slowing things down with a cover of Black Sabbath’s tune, “Changes.:

Soon enough, Tyler took the stage to sing Osbourne’s hit ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home”, with Perry on guitar. Yungblud returned to the mic to duet with Tyler on the tune, which ended with pyrotechnics going off and Yungblud shouting into the microphone: “Ozzy forever!”
