Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, British vocalist Yungblud, and Extreme’s Nuno Bettencourt shared the stage at Long Island’s UBS Arena to pay tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards. The segment was introduced by Osbourne’s son Jack and his family, and then Yungblud shirtlessly sang “Crazy Train,” before donning a jacket to do “Changes.” Next, he and Steven Tyler sang “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” while Joe Perry played guitar. Yungblud closed things out by shouting, “Ozzy forever, man!” Watch clips from the tribute below.

Tyler, Yungblud, and Bettencourt were among the performers at Osbourne’s final concert, in Birmingham, England, in July. The Black Sabbath singer and star of MTV’s The Osbournes died a little more than two weeks after the show.

Aerosmith announced their retirement from touring last year. Numerous farewell shows were canceled, too, due to a vocal cord injury to Tyler.
