## Coldplay Honors Ozzy Osbourne in Nashville
Coldplay recently paid homage to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne during their concert in Nashville. This heartfelt tribute followed the passing of the iconic musician, creating a poignant moment for both the band and the audience.
### Chris Martin’s Dedication
Frontman Chris Martin took a moment to dedicate the entire show to Osbourne. He expressed the profound impact Ozzy had on the music world, saying, “We’d like to dedicate this whole show to the incredible genius, talent, and character-full gift to the world who was Ozzy Osbourne. We send our love to his family.” The band then delivered a touching cover of Black Sabbath’s classic ballad, “Changes.”
This performance featured the opening lines, “I feel unhappy, I feel so sad / I’ve lost the best friend that I ever had,” encapsulating the emotional weight of the occasion. Following the song, Martin added, “Ozzy, we love you, wherever you’re going.”
### A Song with Deep Roots
“Changes” is a significant track from Black Sabbath’s album *Vol. 4*. In his autobiography, *I Am Ozzy*, released in 2011, Osbourne revealed that the song was inspired by the personal experiences surrounding guitarist Bill Ward’s first marriage. Notably, in 2003, Osbourne and his daughter Kelly recorded a duet version, giving the classic a new twist.
### Tributes from Other Artists
Earlier this month, Yungblud honored Ozzy at the “Back to the Beginning” benefit concert in Birmingham, where he performed “Changes.” He shared his feelings in an emotional Instagram post, stating, “I will never forget you — you will be in every single note I sing.” His heartfelt words captured the essence of Ozzy’s influence on countless musicians.
