It was a raw, unforgettable moment that quickly had fans talking about how it was the moment of the night and how rock was not dead.
Tribute to The Prince of Darkness
During tonight’s Grammy Awards 2026, we got to see a beautiful In Memoriam moment. During that performance, we got to see a special tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. As it got many people emotional in the audience and watching at home, we also see that the Osbourne family was in tears while watching the performance.
For the tribute, we saw Slash, Andrew Watt, Duff McKagan, Chad Smith, and Post Malone take the stage in a moving performance. Post nailed it, and it definitely seemed like the Osbournes were enjoying the performance, as hard as it must have been to hear it.
Fans React to Ozzy Tribute
It was a touching tribute, and it was felt by everyone. Fans were quick to jump to social media to share their appreciation of the moment.
One user wrote, “Best performance of the night🔥🔥🔥,” while another added, “This was absolutely incredible. Best performance of the night easily. Perfect tribute for a legend. 🦇🔥”
The love continued, as this fan wrote, “One of the best performances of the night! 🔥❤️👏,” and another added, “Ozzy is watching and proud 🔥.”
The emotions were high, as this person wrote, “Amazing tribute!! Seeing Sharon & the kids in tears 😢 R.I.P. Ozzy 🙏,” and another added, “it was beautiful, amazing and i am truly greatful for this. rock is not dead! ozzy is in our hearts forever!! congratulations, post malone and slash, you did amazing. 🎸🖤🦇”
While many enjoyed the performance, some were hoping to see Yungblood up there. This person wrote, “I love Post, but Yungblud should be the one up there. He’s the ‘successor’ in some sense.
Amazing performance nonetheless!”
Finally, this fan said, “I can’t believe I will Kanye Post Malone but it should have been Yungblood up there. Post couldn’t even hit the notes and looked so out of place, just a disgrace to a legend like Ozzy. Disrespectfully to whoever thought that was a good idea.”
