Kelly Osbourne Song Lyrics Sum Up My Dad's Death ... I'm Going Through Changes
Kelly Osbourne is speaking out for the first time publicly about her father Ozzy Osbourne's death ... and she's using some Black Sabbath lyrics to express herself.
Ozzy's daughter just posted on social media for the first time since he died Tuesday and she's quoting the Black Sabbath song "Changes."
Kelly's post reads ... "I feel unhappy I am so sad. I've lost the best friend I ever had." She includes a broken heart emoji.
Black Sabbath's Surviving Members Share Tributes To Ozzy Osbourne
Ozzy Osbourne's fanbase was left shocked when his death was announced in July 2025, and his family issued a statement at the time to let the fans know they were experiencing "more sadness than mere words can convey."
What's even more poignant is the fact that the late singer's death happened just 17 days after his final concert ... which he undertook with the other original members of Black Sabbath, 20 years after all four had last been on stage together.
We're going to check out what the band's surviving members have had to say about the frontman's death and see what they have been up to in the years since the Prince of Darkness left the band following their set at Ozzfest 2005.
Tony Iommi Called Ozzy His 'Brother' In A Tribute
Black Sabbath's guitarist and longest serving member, Tony Iommi, remained with the band throughout all of its lineup changes over nearly six decades.
In addition to his work with the seminal heavy metal outfit, Iommi released three solo albums, and he recorded the Black Sabbath album, "Heaven and Hell," which featured Osbourne's replacement singer, Ronnie James Dio, after Ozzy left the band.
Iommi shared a post on his Instagram shortly after Ozzy's passing and confessed he was unable to "really find the words" to portray how sad he was about the singer's death.

The guitarist affectionately referred to the singer as his "brother," and described the experience of finding out he'd died as "heartbreaking."
Geezer Butler Referred To Ozzy As A 'Dear Friend' In His Tribute
Geezer Butler stuck with Black Sabbath for much of its run, barring departures from the band throughout the mid-'80s and early 1990s.
The bassist released three solo albums through his work with GZR, which went through several name changes, and he also laid down bass parts on Osbourne's 1995 solo album "Ozzmosis."

Butler's tribute to Ozzy, which he shared on his Instagram, was short and sweet, and he referred to the late singer as his "dear friend" in the post's caption.
The musician also summed up the band's members as "4 kids from Aston" and said he was "glad we got to do it one last time."
Bill Ward Had A Rocky Relationship With The Band -- But Came Back For Their Last Show
Drummer Bill Ward co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968 and remained with the band until 1980, after which he was intermittently involved with the group over the next few decades.
The musician was originally set to reunite with the band in 2011 in preparation of the recording of their final album, titled "13," and although he ended up not participating due to contract disputes, he eventually reconciled with his bandmates and performed at their final concert.
Ward shared a throwback photo on his Instagram after Ozzy had passed away and opened up about the loss he felt after the singer's death, saying the singer was "forever in my heart."

He also sent his "deepest condolences" to Ozzy's wife Sharon and their family members, and added he sent "sincere regrets" to the group's fans.

But in the heat of the moment -- fueled by pure rockstar adrenaline -- Ozzy made it look freakishly easy.
Ozzy’s boundary-pushing stage stunt back in '82 has long been etched in rock ’n’ roll infamy -- and while the Prince of Darkness rushed straight to the hospital for a rabies shot, Kathryn is quick to clear up the myth ... most bats aren’t rabid, so Ozzy probably didn’t need to freak out over a fang-filled encore.

How Alec Van Khajadourian Played At Carnegie Hall ... At Just 5 Years Old
Carnegie Hall's seen plenty of world-class performers come and go across its stage ... and had its potentially youngest performer in its history make his debut in July 2025.
Piano player Alec Van Khajadourian made plenty of waves for his performance at the venue, although much of the attention wasn't only due to his impressive playing -- it went to his age, as the performer's only 5 years old!
Here's a look into the background of the piano prodigy, as well as a few reasons why he was invited to perform on one of the most prestigious stages in the world.
Alec Developed Perfect Pitch At An Early Age
One of the chief reasons Alec made it to Carnegie Hall in NYC is his sense of perfect pitch, which enables him to identify musical notes just by hearing them, according to ABC7.
The ability, which only occurs in about 1 in 10,000 people, helped him develop prowess on the piano "real fast," according to his father Joe.
Alec's father recalled how his son "would walk over to the piano when he first started walking" and seemed to take to the instrument, as he would display "a huge grin on his face" while playing.
Joe also spoke about how his son "immediately showed some real promise" -- how's that for a proud parent?
Alec's Played During Various Competitions
Alec's parents aren't the only ones who've recognized his talents, as he's taken home first prize in various musical competitions over the course of his time as a piano player.
The prodigy's showed off his skills at contests all over the country, and he earned himself a bit of hometown pride after coming out on top at the 2025 Los Angeles Golden Classical Music Awards International Competition, according to the New York Post.
Alec's time at Carnegie Hall took place as part of the NY Classical Debut Awards Gala Concert, which saw him perform alongside other kids from 10 different countries, although he was the youngest of the lot.
While the Gala's founder and artistic director, Pietro Molteni, described the musician as the "youngest performer in the history of Carnegie Hall," representatives for the venue couldn't confirm the claim, as they didn't have records from its earliest days.
Alec's Still Just A Kid -- Despite His Achievements
Despite his prowess on the piano, Alec's still just a 5-year-old kid, and his parents have spoken about not pressuring him to devote himself to the instrument.
Joe described his son -- despite his dedication to practicing the piano -- as "still very much just a goofy 5-year-old" while speaking with ABC7, and said neither he nor his wife put pressure on Alec to succeed as a musician.
Joe also admitted he and his wife "laugh sometimes when he's jamming," as they're
"not able to believe he's able to do that."
The performer's father concluded by expressing his support for Alec's musical pursuits, adding, "as long as he's happy and enjoys doing it, we'll let him keep doing it."

Ozzy Osbourne Biggest Moments On stage ... From Shock to Charity
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 Bit The Head Off A Bat
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.
He Would Throw Raw Meat At His Audiences
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.
He Helped Raise Around $190 Million For Charity At His Final Show
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.
Ozzy thanked his fans profusely for their support throughout his performance, and he had plenty of reason to celebrate after the show was over -- his daughter, Kelly, got engaged backstage once the concert ended!
