In Toron­to, 7,000 singers par­tic­i­pat­ed in Choir Choir Choir's trib­ute to Ozzy Osbourne, all tak­ing part in a giant sing-along of "Para­noid." The first sin­gle on Black Sab­bath's sec­ond album (1970), "Para­noid" reached #4 in the UK mar­ket and put Sab­bath on the map. The song also became an ear­ly heavy met­al clas­sic. Watch Sab­bath per­form the song live in 1970 here; or watch them per­form it for the very last time on July 5, 2025 here. Then enjoy the Choir Choir Choir trib­ute above.

The Flaming Lips kicked off their co-headlining tour with Modest Mouse by teaming up with MM's frontman Isaac Brock for a collaborative cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs" in honor of Osbourne.

During a concert at London's O2 Arena, Alice Cooper performed Black Sabbath's 'Paranoid' in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away on July 22nd.

Fans converged at Madison Square Garden in their Ghost-inspired costumes, mourning Ozzy Osbourne's passing before witnessing Ghost's headlining performance, a 22-song set filled with theatricality.

My introduction to Sabbath was my mom's band, who used to cover War Pigs a pretty faithful rendition! But Ozzy felt more like my discovery, in 1981 or so.

"Ozzy Osbourne and I became very, very good friends on that tour. And the sad news is that he has departed."

Ozzy Osbourne stated, "This is the best cover of 'War Pigs' ever. Why didn't you guys call me?" T-Pain's version stands out as a significant homage to the classic.

Grass Lands will return for Outside Lands next month, and legal marijuana sales will take place at Golden Gate Park during the upcoming Dead and Company shows, featuring Solful’s Garcia Hand Picked cannabis.

"It's impossible to put into words what Ozzy Osbourne has meant to Metallica. Hero, icon, pioneer, inspiration, mentor, and, most of all, friend are a few that come to mind."
