In a heart-wrenching moment, Hollywood legend Johnny Depp joined forces with rock icon Alice Cooper on stage at London's O2 Arena to honor the late Ozzy Osbourne in an emotional tribute. The surprise appearance came just days after Ozzy's passing at the age of 76.

Ozzy, affectionately known as the Prince of Darkness, had been battling health issues for years and sadly took his final bow on Tuesday. His family confirmed the devastating news, sending shockwaves through the music industry.

The music legend, nicknamed the Prince of Darkness, died on Tuesday at the age of 76 just weeks after he took to the stage for his final show with Black Sabbath, with his family confirming the devastating news

The poignant tribute saw Depp rocking out on guitar to a medley of songs alongside Cooper, who belted out hits in front of a packed crowd at the O2 Arena. Cooper, known by his stage name Vincent Damon Furnier, dedicated the performance to Ozzy and his family, saying: "When the giants fall, it's really hard to accept." He continued, "Ozzy will live on forever through his records, music, and legend."

Cooper's emotional tribute was just one of several heartfelt gestures made by fellow celebrities in honor of Ozzy. Earlier that week, Cooper had dedicated his Cardiff show to the legendary musician, saying: "Even though everybody saw it coming with Ozzy, it just took our breath away when it happened." He praised Ozzy for bringing humor to the rock business and leaving a lasting legacy.

In another tribute, Liam and Noel Gallagher paid homage to Ozzy at night one of Oasis's gigs at London's Wembley Stadium on Friday. The Gallagher brothers sang Rock 'N' Roll Star in front of a massive image of Ozzy, with Liam dedicating the song to the late rock star. "I want to dedicate this next one to Ozzy Osbourne, Rock 'N' Roll Star," he said.

The outpouring of grief from the music industry is a testament to Ozzy's enduring impact on rock music. As Cooper so eloquently put it: "Rock n roll is a family and fraternity... When we lose one of our own, it bleeds." He signed off an Instagram post with: "Rest easy Ozzy, and we'll see you on the other side!"

But behind the scenes, Ozzy's family is said to be grappling with the loss of their beloved patriarch. According to sources, his heartbroken wife Sharon may bury him in the gardens of their grand country home due to her frail health. Friends are reportedly "terrified" for her well-being as she navigates this difficult time.

Meanwhile, a shocking revelation has emerged about Ozzy's final hours. An air ambulance was called to his country estate after paramedics battled to save his life for two hours. The tragic events that transpired have left fans and friends reeling.
