During their July 22nd concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Coldplay paid tribute to late heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away earlier that same day at the age of 76.
Frontman Chris Martin addressed the crowd with a heartfelt message:
“We’d like to dedicate this whole show to the incredible genius, talent, and character—this gift to the world—who was Ozzy Osbourne. We send our love to his family.”
Coldplay then performed a cover of Black Sabbath’s 1972 soft-rock ballad “Changes”, a song that showcased a more vulnerable side of the legendary frontman.
After the performance, Martin added:
“Ozzy, we love you, wherever you’re going.”
The tribute and performance begin around the 25-minute, 30-second mark of the full concert video (linked below).
Fans had already caught wind of the tribute earlier in the day, with clips surfacing online of Coldplay soundchecking “Changes” before doors opened.
Ozzy Osbourne’s death was confirmed by his family on the morning of July 22nd. He leaves behind an enduring legacy as one of heavy metal’s founding voices and the unmistakable frontman of Black Sabbath.
