Rock icon Rod Stewart has found himself at the centre of a heated debate after his tribute to Black Sabbath legend Ozzy Osbourne was labelled 'disrespectful' by fans.
The 79-year-old singer, known for hits like Maggie May and Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?, recently paid homage to Osbourne during a public appearance. However, the gesture has sparked outrage among some followers of the Prince of Darkness.
What Did Rod Stewart Do?
Details remain scarce, but eyewitnesses claim Stewart's tribute included an unexpected on-stage moment that many interpreted as mocking rather than honouring the metal icon. Some fans took to social media to express their disappointment, with one writing: 'This wasn't a tribute - it was a parody at best.'
Fan Reactions Split
While some supporters defended Stewart's intentions, others were less forgiving:
- 'Rod should know better than to poke fun at a legend like Ozzy,' tweeted one fan
- 'This feels like cheap publicity,' commented another
- 'Two icons shouldn't be pitted against each other,' wrote a third
Osbourne himself has yet to comment on the controversy, leaving fans wondering if there's more to the story.
A History of Rock Rivalries?
This isn't the first time rock legends have found themselves in awkward public moments. The music industry has seen its fair share of on-stage tensions and backstage drama over the decades.
Whether this latest incident will blow over or develop into a full-blown feud remains to be seen. For now, fans of both artists are left debating what constitutes a proper tribute between rock royalty.
