Drake Pours One Out in Honor of Ozzy Osbourne in Rock Legend’s Hometown: ‘Someone Who Lived It to the Fullest’
🔶 Ozzy Osbourne: Legendary Farewell & Passing
Rock icon Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025 at age 76 . His death followed just 17 days after his final performance with Black Sabbath—a massive charity event in his hometown of Birmingham, England on July 5 .
That farewell show, “Back to the Beginning,” featured star appearances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, and more, hosted by Jason Momoa. Tickets and content raised approximately $190 million for Parkinson’s and children’s charities .
Ozzy’s final Instagram post on July 21, showing a backstage sign “Back to the Beginning – The Final Show” with no caption, has been seen as a poignant farewell gesture.
🎸 Global Rock Community Pays Tribute
Tributes have poured in from across the rock world:
Elton John praised Ozzy as “a huge trailblazer… one of the funniest people I’ve ever met” .
Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day) simply echoed: “No words. We love you Ozzy.” .
Mike McCready of Pearl Jam reflected on being “terrifying and mesmerizing” and credited Ozzy for shaping rock’s journey .
Yungblud, who performed onstage during Ozzy’s farewell, emotionally shared: “I will never forget you…your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own.”
🕯️ Drake’s Tribute? Still Unconfirmed
Although the tribute you mentioned is widely shared online, there’s no confirmed evidence yet that Drake specifically poured one out in Birmingham. No known interviews, social media posts, or credible news outlets report him doing so.
That said, the global outpouring of love for Ozzy has been massive—if Drake did pay tribute, it wouldn’t surprise fans given Ozzy’s impact. I’d be happy to:
