As fans around the world mourn the loss of rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, Carrie Underwood delivered an emotional and respectful tribute by performing his 1991 ballad “Mama, I’m Coming Home.” The moment took place during her 2023 appearance on The Howard Stern Show, long before Osbourne’s passing — but now resonates even more deeply.

While Carrie Underwood rose to fame as a country superstar, she’s never hidden her love for hard rock and metal music. Growing up in a religious household in Oklahoma, her musical influences spanned genres — and Ozzy Osbourne was at the top of her list.

During the interview with Howard Stern, Carrie said:

“I remember being a teenager discovering my own musical taste, and my mom being very much against me listening to Ozzy.”

Despite that, she stood by her admiration for Osbourne’s artistry, explaining that his catalog includes not only heavy riffs and dark themes, but also emotional, melodic songs like “Mama, I’m Coming Home.”
