Kelly Osbourne has spoken out about grieving her late father, Ozzy Osbourne, who was memorialised with a tribute at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards. Ozzy died from a heart attack in July at age 76.
The tribute featured a performance of the Black Sabbath song “War Pigs” by Post Malone, Andrew Watt, Chad Smith, Duff McKagan and Guns N’ Roses’ Slash. Kelly, her mother Sharon Osbourne and brother Jack Osbourne were visibly emotional during the performance.
Ahead of the ceremony, Kelly said on the red carpet that the tribute “means more than I can express into words” and added, “It’ll be very emotional. I’m here to support my mum.” When asked how she is faring, she admitted: “I’m not doing so great,” describing her father’s death as “the hardest thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
The TV personality previously addressed her grief after facing criticism over her weight loss, stating, “My dad just died, and I’m doing the best that I can, and the only thing I have to live for right now is my family.”
Yungblud, who won a Grammy for Best Rock Performance for his live cover of “Changes” at Ozzy’s last show, described the tribute as “bittersweet” and praised Ozzy’s “biggest heart.” Sharon walked the red carpet with Yungblud, who had a years-long friendship with Ozzy.
The In Memoriam segment also featured performances by Reba McEntire, Brandy Clark, Lukas Nelson and Lauryn Hill, honouring musical artists lost that year.
