During this year’s JAMM Night, which took place on January 23 at the Anaheim Convention Center Arena as part of the 2026 NAMM Convention in California, singer Chris Jericho (Fozzy) and guitarist Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), bassist Sean McNabb (ex-Quiet Riot) and drum legend Marco Minnemann performed a medley in tribute to Ozzy Osbourne.

This musical tribute was part of the celebration of Ozzy's life at the event.

A six-meter-tall statue of Ozzy Osbourne was unveiled at the 2026 edition of Hellfest Open Air Festival, taking place through June 21 in Clisson, France.

The statue was created by French contemporary artist Philippe Pasqua.

Ozzy's widow, Sharon Osbourne, shared a post on Instagram expressing her apologies for missing the unveiling ceremony due to an unexpected hospital visit.

She thanked Olivier Garnier, Ben Barbaud and everyone at Hellfest, as well as special thanks to Philippe Pasqua for the stunning statue.

Sharon and Jack Osbourne were spotted discussing opportunities to grow and maintain Ozzy's legacy with a company interested in adapting The Osbournes animated series for a younger audience.

In an interview with License Global, Sharon shared that nostalgia is key to the show's continued popularity, while Jack noted that since re-distributing the show again, there's been a whole new audience eager to experience it.

The original article also mentions a Facebook Group dedicated to metal discussions hosted by BraveWords, where bands can promote their shows and albums, podcasts can showcase their latest episodes, radio shows can share their newest content, and record labels can announce their releases.

This group serves as the evolution of the old BraveWords message board from years ago.
