"The annual In Memoriam segment paid tribute to artists like Roberta Flack, D'Angelo and Ozzy Osbourne. From heavy punk numbers to jazzy R&B ballads and solemn country-infused performances, the academy celebrated those who have shaped music, whether it's on the artistry end or the business end of things. It started off with a candlelit tribute from McEntire, Brandy Clark and Lukas Nelson."
"Then Post Malone, backed by Andrew Watt, Slash, Duff McKagan and Chad Smith - all artists who worked with Osbourne over the past few years covered Black Sabbath's "War Pigs," complete with bursts of fire and endless guitar riffs. The camera continued to pan over to teary-eyed Kelly and Sharon Osbourne, wife and daughter of the Black Sabbath frontman, who attended the ceremony."
