Ozzy Osbourne Gifted Custom Cross by Yungblud in Emotional Pre-Sabbath Moment

A touching video shared by Yungblud captures a poignant exchange with Ozzy Osbourne ahead of Black Sabbath’s farewell concert at Villa Park on Saturday, July 5, 2025. The clip, available here, shows Yungblud presenting Osbourne with a custom cross, symbolizing a full-circle moment between the rock icons. “Rock News” marvels, “Yungblud’s cross gift to Ozzy is 2025’s most heartfelt rock tribute!” The gesture reciprocates Osbourne’s 2022 gift of his gold cross during the “The Funeral” video shoot.

A Symbol of Respect

Yungblud reflected, “Back in 2022 on the video shoot for ‘The Funeral,’ Ozzy gave me his gold cross and said ‘I hope this brings you luck.’ I thought, on this monumental moment for him and Sabbath, it was time to return the favour and let him know what he and the band mean to me.” The custom cross, unveiled before the Back to the Beginning show, underscores Yungblud’s admiration for Osbourne’s legacy, from Black Sabbath’s metal origins to his solo triumphs. The video, posted post-concert, has sparked emotional responses online.

The gift preceded Sabbath’s final bow, attended by legends like Metallica and Guns N’ Roses, marking the end of an era. Osbourne, battling health issues, received a standing ovation, with Yungblud’s gesture adding a personal layer to the night. Fans on X praise the cross as a “passing of the torch,” linking it to Osbourne’s 2023 Rock Hall speech honoring Sabbath’s influence. This moment highlights Yungblud’s evolution from punk provocateur to a bridge between generations.
