LIVE ON GMA – GMA pays emotional tribute to Ozzy Osbourne on live broadcast!

The anchors of Good Morning America opened Tuesday’s broadcast with heavy hearts, joining millions around the world in mourning the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the enigmatic frontman of Black Sabbath and solo rock legend.

Michael Strahan, visibly emotional, addressed viewers at the top of the hour:

“We’ve lost a legend. Ozzy’s music woke us up, fired us up, and made us feel invincible. He was chaos with a heart.”

Robin Roberts reflected on her own memories:

“I first heard ‘Crazy Train’ during a rough patch in my career. That song pulled me through. He gave people permission to be unapologetically themselves.”

George Stephanopoulos, known for his calm demeanor, led a moment of silence on-air, calling Osbourne “a cornerstone of modern music history.”

The show aired a montage of Ozzy’s most iconic performances, along with a rare throwback interview from GMA in 2002, where Lara Spencer had asked Osbourne what kept him going. His reply?

“I may be mad, but I’m real. That’s all that matters.”

Behind the scenes, staff members said that Ozzy’s music was part of GMA’s pre-show playlists for years, often energizing the crew before going live.

Executive Producer Simone Swink shared:
“Ozzy wasn’t just a rock star. He was a cultural pulse. GMA salutes him, and we thank him.”

With news anchors, celebrities, and athletes all united in tribute, it’s clear that Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy defied genre, generation, and geography.
