The heavy metal community, as well as the entire world, was dealt a blow like no other when Ozzy Osbourne passed away on July 22, 2025, only a few weeks after a very special "Back To The Beginning" Black Sabbath and solo Ozzy tribute concert.

I'm not gonna lie to you, its been weeks after the passing of Ozzy and I've heard and read so many tributes from people talking about everything from memories of Ozzy concerts to personal conversations they've had with Ozzy.

There really isn't much more that I can say to add on to that... and honestly, this isn't about me, anyways. Its about Ozzy. And in Tribute (one of my favorite live albums, btw, featuring Ozzy and one of my favorite guitar players ever, Randy Rhoads) I did one of the only things I could do. And in true KK WADE fashion, I've compiled a list of performances from not only the couple of years, but also from the days following Ozzy's death.

This isn't "The KK WADE Show," this is "OZZYMANIA!"

All good things must come to an end.

The Pittsburgh Karaoke was shocked at the beginning of May 2025, when it was announced that The Smiling Moose (South Side) would be shutting its doors forever by the end of the month.

The Karaoke Home of KK WADE. Where it all began... The Smiling Moose was going to be going away forever.

But despite some setbacks (that'll be discussed later on), there was no fucking way in fuck that The Rock N Roll Nigga was going to be missing the last ever Smiling Moose (South Side) Karaoke event. KK WADE was there in August 2013 and he's damn sure gonna be there now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, get ready to listen to KK WADE at The Smiling Moose for the last time!*

Songs performed by KK WADE on May 23, 2025 at The Last Karaoke At The Smiling Moose (South Side):

Ozzy - "Bark At The Moon"
Heart - "Alone"
Cast of "Rent" - "Seasons Of Love"

*Because there totally isnt going to be a deluxe editon of this shit, which will feature a SHIT TON of performances that I did and recorded at The Smiling Moose over the past 2 years and even some stuff from 2015 that I saved from my FB before it was bullshittily** deleted. No way! It also isnt going to feature commentary about some of my performances and some of my memories at The Moose, as well as a "semi-on the spot" commentary/recap about The Last Karaoke.

Nah. Im definitely not going to do all of that.

In the last 2 weeks of 2024, KK WADE went to 4 karaoke shows and got a whopping 30 songs in. Out of all of those, 17 of my absolute favorites were chosen to be in this episode of The KKWS for all of you niggas to enjoy.

All performances were recorded at Pittsburgh area bars. Oh, and a preliminary "Fuck You" to 2025!

5 days after the end of The Eras Tour just so happened to be Taylor Swift's 35th birthday! Any bar owner worth their salt was going to try to find a good way to capitalize on this day.

While I'm sure that there were plenty of events going on across the city, I decided to go to a trusted bar that I'd been to before, Stinky's Bar and Grill!

I'm not a fake nigga, so I'll keep it real: not exactly my best night of singing for a few reasons (having to yell rather to sing due to incessant chatter, words on the screen not keeping up with the song, alcohol... lol), but a good time was still had. This night wasn't about sounding the "best," but a celebration of Taylor Swift, and celebration was definitely had!

Songs sang:

Taylor Swift - "Lavender Haze"
Taylor Swift - "New Romantics"
Taylor Swift - "willow"
Taylor Swift - "False God"
Taylor Swift - "my tears ricochet"
Taylor Swift - "Anti-Hero"

A little more than 2 weeks after the special Swiftie karaoke event at the Hard Rock Cafe, on December 14, 2023, Dormont's Apple Inn also had a Swiftie-themed karaoke event of their own. KK hadn't sang at The Apple Inn in years, so he definitely wasn't going to pass up this opportunity to sing to all of the Swifties of the Dormont area.

Songs Performed:

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood
Taylor Swift - Ready For It
Taylor Swift - willow

Having seen many bands at the Hard Rock Cafe in Pittsburgh, KK had always wondered how long it'd be before THE KK WADE SHOW would grace their stage.

Well, on November 28 2023, the waiting had finally come to an end... and in the form of a special "Eras Tour" karaoke event.  KK WADE, with the 10 years of karaoke experience he had, along with 8 years of being a Swiftie under his belt, you know he was going to make an appearance.

Everyone was able to pick at least 3 songs to sing. The ones KK chose were:

Taylor Swift - "Ready For It"
Taylor Swift - "22"
Taylor Swift - "Midnight Rain" 

Enjoy the show, my niggas!
