Ozzy Osbourne's death has rocked the music world ... and some of the biggest names in the industry are paying homage to the rock legend on stage.

Lady Gaga celebrated the Black Sabbath frontman at the end of her San Francisco performance Tuesday night ... by blasting his biggest hit "Crazy Train" through the Chase Center's speakers, she and her team of performers took their bows.

Gaga struts across stage in a black beanie and opens up her jacket to make sure the whole crowd can see her t-shirt that reads "Ozzy Osbourne." As the music blares, she bops her head and jumps up around with her crew ... and the crowd is all in.

Before this cutie patootie sittin' in her high chair was spittin' beats and puttin' her singin' chops on the stage, she was just holdin' on tight, eager to snack away ... and growing up in both Southern California and New York ...

SoundCloud and MySpace were a couple platforms she used to jumpstart her career, and in 2020, her tunes went viral on TikTok. She may wear lots of black clothing, but she still likes to paint the town red ...

She's collaborated with music's hottest stars like SZA and Nicki Minaj.

Charli XCX's officially locked down, folks -- she tied the knot with her new husband, George Daniel, in mid-July.

The Grammy Award-winning songwriter and the musician made things official at a low-key ceremony in London, with a small crowd of their friends and family present.

Now, we're taking a look at the background of the "Boom Clap" singer's new husband ... and we'll show you what led up to their big day.

Although Charli's carved out a space for herself in the music industry, Daniel's definitely proved he could hold his own ... he's one of the founding members of The 1975, and he serves as their drummer and producer.

The musician started the band alongside several of his school pals -- including Taylor Swift's ex Matty Healy -- in 2002, and he's remained with them for over two decades.

The band's achieved plenty of success during its run, and the group has also been nominated for two Grammys.

Oh, and by the way, Daniel's also performed as a DJ, and he's also launched a record label focused on dance music.

Daniel and Charli were first linked in 2019, when they posed for a photo together during the GQ Man Of The Year Awards ceremony ... and they collaborated on No Rome's 2021 track "Spinning."

The drummer went on to serve as one of the producers on the singer's 2022 album "Crash," and the two let their fans know about their relationship when Charli shared a now-deleted image on Instagram the same year.

Daniel and Charli made their red carpet debut during the 2023 Vanity Fair Oscars Party, and the singer revealed that he'd popped the big question that November.

She offered a bit of insight into her relationship with the drummer on an episode of the "Spout Podcast," and described dating someone she'd worked with as "a whole new dynamic," which she also saw as "cool."

The performers' wedding went down at Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, and they were joined by around 20 family members and close friends while saying their vows.

A source told People the performers wanted their pared-down ceremony to "feel special and personal, but not over-the-top."

The thing is, they're not exactly done with their wedding celebrations yet -- because they're preparing for a second ceremony in Sicily.

Have beef with Akon and want to mix it up in a ring with the musician? Good news -- the "Smack That" crooner says he desperately wants to take a celebrity boxing match!!

The 52-year-old made the revelation during a recent sitdown with "THE UNTOLD" ... explaining on the show he'd absolutely accept a fight if a good offer was put in front of him.

"In my sleep," he said. "Please invite me in the ring!"

Ozzy Osbourne rose to fame as the lead singer of heavy metal band Black Sabbath, which he co-founded in 1968 and fronted for much of its existence.

And part of why the band's legacy, as well as his own, was cemented over time was for Ozzy's outrageous live performances -- many of which featured on-stage antics that have become legendary in rock history.

We're taking a look back at some of Ozzy's biggest onstage moments from his career ... and see how his farewell show left his fans with more than just a shock.

Ozzy put himself through plenty of physical trials over the length of his career as a singer ... although not many would have guessed he would have to receive rabies shots for one of his onstage antics.

The singer was performing in Des Moines, Iowa, on his "Diary Of A Madman" tour in January 1982 when a teenage fan threw what the performer thought was a rubber bat onstage.

Ozzy immediately picked up the bat and bit into its neck before ripping its head off with his teeth, giving the crowd of about 5,000 concertgoers a sight they'd never forget.

The songwriter later wrote about the incident in his 2009 memoir "I Am Ozzy," and recalled the bat having "the worst aftertaste," after which he had to undergo frequent and painful injections for rabies, according to Loudwire.

Ozzy wasn't limited to performing his own stunts on stage, and many of his shows included audience participation -- in the sense that he would pelt his fans with raw meat.

He fondly recalled his meat-throwing days in a 2011 interview for the release of a box set, and spoke about an instance where the slingshot he used to attack his audience malfunctioned and "slapped this meat on the back of my head instead."

Many of the incidents took place on the "Diary Of A Madman" tour, where the Prince Of Darkness would toss various cuts into the audience, purely for shock value.

And as it turned out, tossing out cuts of meat ran in the family, as his wife, Sharon, famously tossed a baked ham over her family's fence to mess with their neighbors in the first season of "The Osbournes," which aired in 2002.

While Ozzy's shows during his heyday became infamous for his provocative antics, his final concert went down in history as one of the most generous performances of all time.

The singer's last show, which he performed with all three of his original bandmates from Black Sabbath and was billed as "Back to The Beginning," raised around $190 million, or 140 million British Pounds, for charity, according to Billboard.

The concert, which also featured performances from acts like Slayer, Metallica and Tool, was put on to benefit three separate charities, was attended by reportedly 42,000 fans, according to the New York Post, and was streamed by millions as well.

Adam Lambert is back on the market ... 'cause TMZ has learned the singer and his longtime boyfriend have quietly gone their separate ways.

Legendary rock singer Ozzy Osbourne has died ... TMZ has learned.

The statement was signed by Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.

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.

While the details of the settlement will remain private, we wish each other personal happiness, professional success and peace in the future."

New legal docs obtained by TMZ also show FKA Twigs asked the court to dismiss all claims against Shia with prejudice, meaning she cannot refile the case in the future.
