The passing of Ozzy Osbourne has sent waves of grief throughout the entire music world. While countless rock and metal artists have shared tributes to the Prince of Darkness, members of the nu-metal community — many of whom credit Ozzy for inspiring their careers and helping their bands break through — have also spoken out with heartfelt messages.
Corey Taylor (Slipknot / Stone Sour)
“Without Ozzy, there is no me. My heart has broken.”
Jonathan Davis (Korn)
“This man meant the world to me. He was one of my musical heroes and did so much for me personally and for Korn. I’m going to miss our little chats. My heart goes out to @sharonosbourne and the family. Rest in peace my brother. Your memory and what you have done for music will live forever. 🤘🏼”
Shavo Odadjian (System Of A Down)
“I’m heartbroken and speechless. Condolences to the Osbourne family. Rest in Peace my friend. 😢”
Dez Fafara (DevilDriver / Coal Chamber)
“It is with the heaviest heart today that we see the passing of a legend. I was lucky to not only know Ozzy and his family but to have done a track with him. He was the nicest person and helped propel my first band, Coal Chamber, into the mainstream. Ozzy and that family will always mean the world to me. My deepest condolences to the Osbourne family.”
Mudvayne:
RIP OZZY, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
Ozzy’s impact on the nu-metal genre is undeniable. From giving younger bands opportunities on Ozzfest to offering guidance behind the scenes, his influence stretched far beyond the artists he directly worked with. His legacy will live on through the generations of heavy music he helped shape.
Rest easy, Ozzy.
