The late great heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne will be memorialized at this year’s ‘GRAMMY Awards‘. A special live tribute to the Prince Of Darkness, will air during the awards show on February 01st. Guns N’ Roses‘ guitarist Slash and bassist/vocalist Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, and producer/musician Andrew Watt will be serving as the backing band for that performance.
Rapper/country star Post Malone will front that tribute, having previously invited Osbourne on his 2019 track “Take What You Want“. Malone would later pay it forward, guesting on Osbourne‘s 2020 song “It’s A Raid“.
All of the above-mentioned musicians played on the final albums to arrive from Osbourne before his untimely passing on July 22nd, 2025 following a heart attack and a lengthy battle with illness.
