After the song, Martin added, 'Ozzy, we love you, wherever you're going.'
Black Sabbath released 'Changes' as part of their album Vol. 4. In his 2011 autobiography, I Am Ozzy, Osbourne noted that the song was inspired by the end of guitarist Bill Ward's first marriage. In 2003, Osbourne and his daughter Kelly Osbourne released a duet version of the track with revised lyrics.
Earlier this month, Yungblud performed a cover of 'Changes' live at Black Sabbath's Back to the Beginning benefit concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. Yungblud paid tribute to Osbourne in a lengthy Instagram post, writing, 'I will never forget you — you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage. Your cross around my neck is the most precious thing I own. You asked me once if there was anything you could do for me and as I said then and as I will say now for all of us the music was enough. You took us on your adventure — an adventure that started it all. I am truly heartbroken. You were the greatest of all time.'

Beyoncé Joins The Rolling Stones In A Very Exclusive Club
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter Tour came to a close on Saturday (July 26) in Las Vegas as the singer wrapped a 32-date stadium run that grossed more than $400 million. The trek narrowly passes that landmark figure, which is a relative rarity in the music industry – but it's one that she has seen before. As the Cowboy Carter Tour finishes with at least $400 million in grosses, Beyoncé becomes the latest person to enter one of the most exclusive clubs in music. A Record-Breaking Run According to Billboard Boxscore, the Cowboy Carter Tour brought in $407.6 million and sold 1.6 million tickets worldwide. The venture follows Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour, which ended in 2023 with $579.8 million in grosses. It still stands as the top-grossing tour by a female artist at the time. With just two concert tours, Beyoncé amassed nearly $1 billion in ticket grosses with back-to-back runs. The Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran and Coldplay With Cowboy Carter and Renaissance now finished, Beyoncé becomes just the fourth artist in history to see two tours gross more than $400 million. She joins Coldplay, Ed Sheeran, and The Rolling Stones in that ultra-rare group. Coldplay achieved the feat first with the A Head Full of Dreams Tour, which ran from 2016 to 2017 and pulled in over $523 million. The pop-rockers reached even greater heights with the still-ongoing Music of the Spheres World Tour, which has already surpassed $1.26 billion, becoming the first rock tour to cross the billion-dollar mark. The Rolling Stones joined the club thanks to the A Bigger Bang Tour, which ran from 2005 to 2007 and earned $558.3 million as well as the No Filter Tour, which wrapped in 2021 with $546 million in grosses. Ed Sheeran's ÷ (Divide) Tour brought in $776 million between 2017 and 2019. His ongoing Mathematics Tour also crossed $653 million (and growing), and he's still in the prime of his career, so there could easily be another $400 million-grossing trek at some point. First Black Artist to Achieve a Huge Milestone Beyoncé doesn't only join this elite group, she also manages to make history as her promotion of Cowboy Carter ends. She's the first Black artist in history to see two tours each top $400 million in grosses. She's also the only woman and the only American act, solo or group, to reach that milestone. Thanks to the Cowboy Carter Tour, she now holds the honor of having headlined the highest-grossing country music tour ever reported. An Unlikely Pivot That Redefined Beyoncé's Career Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé's full-length country debut, marked a dramatic stylistic turn that many didn't see coming. The album produced a No. 1 hit in 'Texas Hold 'Em,' garnered several Grammy nominations, and finally earned her the Album of the Year award, which many had demanded she claim for years. The full-length is the second installment in her trilogy, and with one final chapter on the horizon, there's every reason to believe that another new album — and another potentially historic tour — may be just around the corner.
