Music lovers, mark your calendars! The MTV Video Music Awards 2025 is ready to light up the stage with a special tribute to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne. This weekend, fans will witness a powerful tribute performance featuring Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, alongside the vibrant Yungblud and guitar wizard Nuno Bettencourt. These music giants will gather on Sunday to perform a medley of Ozzy’s timeless hits, creating a magical moment to remember the iconic Black Sabbath frontman, Deadline revealed. The tribute comes just weeks after the world lost the ‘Prince of Darkness’ on July 22, 2025, when Ozzy passed away due to a heart attack. The New York Times shared that his death certificate revealed coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease as key health struggles. His daughter Aimée Rose Osbourne filed the certificate in London, confirming these details. Backstage fun before the farewell: Just weeks before his passing, Yungblud, Tyler, and Bettencourt joined the 76-year-old rockstar on stage during his “Back to the Beginning” concert, showing the deep bond and respect among these artists, Deadline reported. Ozzy’s love affair with MTV is no secret. From starring in the 1980s heavy metal show Headbanger’s Ball to heading his own reality TV show Battle for Ozzfest in 2004, he shared his metal world with fans like no other. The show brought eight fierce bands to compete for a spot at his legendary festival, Ozzfest. And who can forget “The Osbournes” reality series on MTV in 2002? It revealed Ozzy’s home life with wife Sharon and their kids Kelly and Jack, giving fans a brand-new, intimate look at the rockstar. The show became a huge hit and even won an Emmy for Outstanding Non-Fiction Program, wrapping up its run in 2005. Want more? The 2025 MTV VMAs will be hosted by LL Cool J and promise incredible performances by big names like Lady Gaga, Sabrina Carpenter, Ricky Martin, Post Malone, and Doja Cat. Catch all the action live from UBS Arena, New York, at 8 PM ET on Sunday, September 7. Tune in on CBS, MTV, or stream it on Paramount+ to be part of this epic celebration.
