In July 2025, the world lost the “Prince of Darkness,” Ozzy Osbourne. To honor his massive life, America’s Got Talent star Courtney Hadwin stepped up to sing his classic hit. She chose the song “Changes” to show that great music never dies.
Courtney does not just copy the old version. She starts out very quiet, almost like she is whispering a prayer. Then, the music gets loud with heavy drums and rock guitars. She matches the energy of the old song with a modern touch.

Fans think she has done justice to the song. One viewer said that they can feel the ghost of rock and roll in her voice. Another person wrote that Ozzy would be very proud to hear his music sounding so alive. People are happy because this song feels like a celebration instead of a sad goodbye to a hero.
This new version is a beautiful way to say thank you to a legend. It reminds us of how Ozzy used to move people when he sang it himself many years ago. In a famous live show from his “Live & Loud” tour, Ozzy showed everyone how to be honest and sad on stage.

In that live video, the room is very still. Ozzy looks tired and sings about losing a best friend. He is not trying to be a tough rock star. He is just a man sharing his heart with a huge crowd. Courtney takes that same honesty and adds her own power to it. She proves that the spirit of rock is in good hands.
