Overview

• Frontman Chris Martin opened the Nissan Stadium performance by sending love to Ozzy Osbourne’s family and calling him an “incredible genius” and “character-full gift to the world.”
• Coldplay paused its arena set to perform a stripped-down, piano-driven cover of Black Sabbath’s 1972 ballad “Changes.”
• After the tribute, Martin addressed Osbourne directly, saying, “Ozzy, we love you, wherever you’re going.”
• “Changes” first appeared on Black Sabbath’s Vol. 4 in 1972 and was later reissued in a 2003 duet between Ozzy and his daughter Kelly.
• The Nashville homage follows a July 5 benefit in Birmingham where artists including Yungblud also covered “Changes” to honor the late metal pioneer.
