Rob Zombie Thanks Ozzy Osbourne in Sincere Tribute

The death of Ozzy Osbourne has brought an outpouring of love and fond memories from fans and friends, including Rob Zombie. The news of Osbourne’s death was confirmed by TMZ.

The rock world has been in complete mourning, and the tributes for Ozzy have been coming in from around the world, as everyone unites to celebrate the rock icon.

Rob Zombie’s Tribute

In his post, Robert Bartleh Cummings, better known as Rob Zombie, thanked Ozzy, saying: “Goodbye Ozzy. Thank you for all the tours throughout the years. 🦇”

The rock legend went on to share some memories with Ozzy: “Ozzfest 99 was the best. Original Black Sabbath together again. 🔥 This photo is from 2001. We were shooting photos to promote The Merry Mayhem tour. Ozzy would not stop complaining about his long finger nails that Sharon made him get. I was trying really hard to keep a straight face. Good times. 🦇”

Zombie ended the touching tribute with, “REST IN PEACE.”

All-Star Tribute to the Rock & Roll Legend

In 2024, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inducted Osbourne as a solo artist. An all-star lineup of performers took to the stage to honor the rock and roll legend.

That lineup included performances by: Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Inductees Chad Smith and Robert Trujillo, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Billy Idol, along with Adam Wakeman, Andrew Watt, Steve Stevens, Zakk Wylde, Jelly Roll, Maynard James Keenan, and Wolfgang Van Halen.
