Justin Bieber subtly pays homage to late Ozzy Osbourne in heartfelt post

Justin Bieber recently honoured Black Sabbath's lead vocalist, Ozzy Osbourne, following his sudden and tragic death at the age of 76 on Tuesday, July 22.

Taking to his Instagram handle, the 31-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter shared a fun-filled carousel of his recent listening party for his latest album, Swag.

The slideshow featured several pictures, but what caught fans' attention was the final snap, which was a throwback photo of Bieber and Osbourne from their 2011 Best Buy Super Bowl ad, where the duo were seen smiling at the camera.

Soon after, fans flooded the comments section of the Baby hitmaker's post.

One person wrote, "The tribute to Ozzy at the end of the post is beautiful. It shows a lot of respect for a legend on your part."

"Having Ozzy as the last photo is such a flex honestly," another commented.

A third person remarked, "The last picture is so random omg."

It is pertinent to mention that Ozzy Osbourne breathed his last just a few weeks after his farewell show in his hometown of Birmingham on July 5.
