One of the biggest rock moments during the Grammys will be an all-star tribute to Ozzy Osbourne. Post Malone, Guns N’ Roses‘ Slash and Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and musician and producer Andrew Watt will be involved in the performance to honor Osbourne, who died July 22, 2025 at the age of 76.
Watt produced Ozzy’s final two studio albums. The rest of the lineup has experience guesting on Osbourne’s songs or appearing at last year’s Back to the Beginning farewell event for Black Sabbath.
