It felt like he knew—this was his last chance to show the world just how much he truly loved her

On July 5, 2025, legendary rocker Ozzy Osbourne delivered a heartfelt performance of his iconic ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home”—a song that has only grown more powerful with time. At 76 years old, the Prince of Darkness once again proved that his voice, his message, and his connection with fans are as strong as ever.

Originally released in 1991 on the No More Tears album, “Mama, I’m Coming Home” was written by Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, and Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead. It quickly became one of Ozzy’s most beloved songs, marking a departure from his heavier sound with a soulful, emotional rock ballad.

The lyrics—addressing love, regret, and reconciliation—have touched millions around the world. For many, the song resonates as a tribute to mothers, families, and loved ones waiting for a return that may or may not come.

Though he has battled serious health issues in recent years, including Parkinson’s disease and multiple surgeries, Ozzy’s July 5th performance was nothing short of remarkable. His voice carried raw emotion, and every word of “Mama, I’m Coming Home” felt deeply personal.

Fans in attendance were moved to tears, and the performance quickly went viral online, earning praise from rock fans and casual listeners alike.
