POST Malone has paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne during the Grammy Awards in memoriam, leaving his family emotional.
The Black Sabbath frontman died in July, with his cause of death coming months later, and left his fans and those closest to him reeling.
As attendees, nominees, and performers, including Justin and Hailey Bieber, Bad Bunny, Chappell Roan, and more, looked on, the Grammy Awards remembered all those that show business lost in the year before.
Among them was, of course, Ozzy, who was 76 when he unexpectedly suffered a heart attack and died.

Cameras panned to Ozzy’s family, including Kelly, Sharon, and Jack Osbourne.
