Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummers Chad Smith, producer Andrew Watt, and rapper Post Malone will perform a SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO OZZY OSBOURNE at the 2026 Grammy Awards. The 2026 Grammys will take place Sunday, February 1, at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles broadcasting live on CBS and on Paramount+.
Very longtime HardRadio friend SHARON OSBOURNE - wife and manager of the late metal legend and very longtime HardRadio friend Ozzy Osbourne, is featured in a new interview with Billboard where she discusses how she helped shape Ozzy's solo career. Sharon, the daughter of music impresario Don Arden, was born in London and cut her teeth working at her father's record label Jet Records before taking what she calls the biggest risk of her career: leaving that label to manage Ozzy whom she'd married after he was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979. "Everybody thought Ozzy's career was never going to happen as a solo artist — in those days, there weren't that many people that had left bands and actually gone on and done really well," she recalls. "They thought Ozzy and I would just end up in the toilet. It was really about getting up every day and showing everyone: F**k you, this is what we're going to do. I never took no for an answer."

Business Wire is reporting that very longtime HardRadio friends Motley Crue have won a decisive victory against former guitarist MICK MARS resulting in a final arbitration award that rejects every claim Mars made against the band. The arbitrator's ruling dismantles the public narrative Mars promoted in interviews with major outlets. The arbitrator ruling confirmed that Mars forfeited any right to touring revenue when he chose to stop touring—a rule Mars himself demanded and wrote into the band's governing agreement in 2008. The Final Award also upheld the band's decision to terminate Mars as an officer and director for legal cause and ordered him to repay more than $750,000 in unrecouped tour advances.
