Jeopardy! paid tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne on Tuesday (July 22) with a special round of clues dedicated to the heavy metal legend.

The Black Sabbath frontman passed away on Tuesday at 76 years old, just weeks after reuniting with his bandmates for a massive farewell concert. Tributes soon spread far and wide, including on the official Jeopardy! Instagram page, which shared a post in Osbourne’s memory.

The post included a video from an episode of last season’s Celebrity Jeopardy!, featuring Mo Rocca, Lisa Ann Walter, and Katie Nolan. The category was titled “Ozzy Osbourne’s Favorite Songs,” and included five clues about the rocker’s musical tastes.

Throughout the category, some of Osbourne’s favorite songs were revealed as The Animals’ cover of Nina Simone’s “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” Led Zeppelin’s “Dazed and Confused,” Pink Floyd’s “Money,” Mountain’s “Mississippi Queen,” and Elton John’s “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road.”

Fans jumped into the comments to share their appreciation for the post and express their condolences.

“RIP to an absolute legend!! goodnight ozzy 🖤,” wrote one commenter.

Another added, “RIP Prince of Darkness!”

“❤️ it Jeops. Greatness recognizes greatness,” one user wrote.

“Sweepable category for average humans,” said another.

“So this is how i find out ozzy and i would have identical playlists,” another added.

“Love this,” said one commenter.

This wasn’t the only time Osbourne had appeared as part of a Jeopardy! category. An episode back in March featured a clue that read: “This onetime Black Sabbath frontman really did bite the head off a bat at a 1982 show; he thought it was a rubber toy.”

Osbourne also once took part in a Jeopardy!-style trivia battle against a superfan for a segment on a 2005 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! The funny skit saw the rock star answering questions about himself, which, unsurprisingly, he ended up winning.

A cause of death has not yet been confirmed, though Osbourne had been battling Parkinson’s disease since 2019.

“It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” his family shared in a statement on Tuesday. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

WHEN LEGENDS COLLIDE: Tom Jones And Ozzy Osbourne Unite Onstage For An Unforgettable Duet

No One Could’ve Predicted It — And No One Who Saw It Will Ever Forget It.

Under the burning glow of stage lights at London’s Hyde Park, a moment unfolded that felt less like a concert and more like a piece of rock-and-roll history being written in real time. Tom Jones, the velvet-voiced icon of soul and pop, and Ozzy Osbourne, the wild heart of heavy metal, stood shoulder to shoulder — two legends from wildly different worlds — singing one song, one message, one truth.

Their choice? “Bridge Over Troubled Water.”

The irony wasn’t lost on anyone. Ozzy, frail but defiant, carried years of pain and resilience in every raspy breath. Tom, still powerful at 84, brought the warmth, the ache, and the grace. When they sang together, it wasn’t just a duet — it was a testament to survival, to brotherhood, to music that bridges every genre, every past, every wound.

Ozzy’s voice cracked on the second verse. Tom reached over and gripped his hand. The crowd — nearly 90,000 strong — went dead silent, as if holding their collective breath. It wasn’t a perfect performance. It was a real one. Raw. Emotional. Alive.

By the final chorus, something changed. The two men weren’t just singing a classic — they were living it, pouring decades of triumph and tragedy into each note. And when they hit that final harmony — “like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down” — tears streamed from both their eyes.

People in the crowd clung to strangers. Lighters and phone lights waved like prayers. And for those few minutes, it didn’t matter if you were a fan of Sabbath or swooned to “It’s Not Unusual” — you were witnessing something sacred.

As the lights dimmed and the crowd roared, Tom turned to Ozzy, kissed his hand, and whispered, “You’ll always be my brother in song.”

That night, two legends didn’t just share a stage — they shared their souls. And in doing so, they reminded the world: no matter how different the melody, the heart behind the song is the same.
