The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins slams VMA Ozzy tribute

Dan Hawkins, guitarist with The Darkness, has taken to Instagram to launch an apparent attack on those involved with MTV’s tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne, an all-star segment filmed at this year’s Video Music Awards at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York.

The performance featured Yungblud, Extreme guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, Black Sabbath keyboardist Adam Wakeman and band performing Ozzy’s Crazy Train and Sabbath’s Changes, before the Aerosmith duo of Steven Tyler and Joe Perry joined the action for Mama, I’m Coming Home.
