If you’re a fan of heavy music in any way, shape, or form, you owe Ozzy Osbourne a huge debt of gratitude.

The “Prince of Darkness” passed away on July 22, 2025 at the age of 76 and music fans all over the world paid tribute to the heavy metal icon.

And one very distinguished group gave the iconic singer a special send-off.

During the Changing of the Guard ceremony at Buckingham Palace on July 30, 2025, the Band of the Coldstream Guards played their version of Black Sabbath’s classic song “Paranoid” to honor Ozzy.

The hit song appeared on Black Sabbath’s 1970 “Paranoid” album and has been a mainstay in Ozzy’s catalog for decades.

I think it’s safe to say that the Guards nailed it!

Check out the video.
