MTV’s Tribute to Ozzy at This Year’s VMAs to Feature a Medley of His Greatest Hits

Folks at MTV announced ahead of this weekend’s Video Music Awards (VMAs) that there will be a star-studded performance to honor the life and legacy of the late Ozzy Osbourne. According to a press release from the cable company that used to play music, the segment will feature Aerosmith’s Joe Perry and Steven Tyler, Ozzy’s protege Yungblud, and Extreme axeman Nuno Bettencourt.

The press release specifically states that those named artists, along with some others, will be “coming together for a once-in-a-lifetime performance honoring the legendary ‘Prince of Darkness’ and metal luminary with a medley of his greatest hits.”

Just looking at the list they provided, it makes sense. Tyler, Yungblud, and Bettencourt all performed at ‘Back to the Beginning’, with the latter two being part of the now iconic performance of “Changes” (which I’m sure is what they’ll do at the VMAs…).

This year’s VMAs will be live this Sunday, September 7 on CBS and MTV at 8 p.m. The event will take place at New York’s UBS Arena, with LL Cool J serving as the show’s master of ceremonies. Most of what’s going on won’t matter to us at all, so either spend time watching that mainstream gruel or wait until we inevitably post the performance here the following day. Up to you.
