There’s no question that Ozzy Osbourne left a lasting legacy on the rock world, and tributes are pouring in from his fellow musicians following the news of his death Tuesday.
Black Sabbath swiftly shared a recent performance pic of the rocker smiling on stage … remembering him by simply writing “Ozzy Forever.” As you know, he became a founding member of the heavy metal band in 1967 but was canned in 1979 due to his substance abuse issues … though later returned to perform with the band off and on for several years beginning in 1997.
Travis Barker and YUNGBLUD — who performed at Ozzy’s final Black Sabbath show on July 5 — posted for him as well.
The Blink-182 drummer took to his Instagram Story with a throwback snap of him with the band to honor the legend, while YUNGBLUD posted a recent image of him giving Ozzy a sterling silver gold cross with diamonds.
