Rod Stewart’s Ozzy Osbourne AI ‘Heaven Selfies’ Tribute Video Sparks Debate

by rrollins, August 6, 2025

Rod Stewart’s tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during his “One Last Time” tour has sparked mixed reactions. At his August 1 concert in Atlanta, Stewart debuted an AI-generated video showing Osbourne in a pastel-toned heaven, casually taking selfies with late music legends including Prince, Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain, and XXXTentacion. Set to Stewart’s 1988 hit “Forever Young,” the tribute was intended as a heartfelt farewell to Osbourne, who died on July 22 at age 76. While some fans found it touching, others called it “tacky” and “disrespectful,” igniting debate over taste, technology, and digital memorials.
