Tribute is a live album by British vocalist , featuring his work with , in whose honor the album was released.The album was released in May 1987, five years after the death of Rhoads, then it was reissued on 22 August 1995, and again and reissued in 2002. It peaked at number 6 on the US chart.
The album was released in memory of Randy Rhoads, guitarist for Osbourne's band between 1979 and 1982 who died in a while on tour in in 1982. The album also includes studio outtakes of Rhoads recording the classical-influenced acoustic guitar piece "", which Rhoads wrote for his mother Delores and which was originally included on Osbourne's debut solo album .
A live album consisting entirely of renditions of songs was originally planned to be recorded at Toronto's in mid-1982 with Rhoads. Rhoads and drummer felt that they had established themselves as recording artists and an album of cover songs would be a step backwards artistically, and they refused to participate. Bassist was uncomfortable with refusing to perform, not having the same recording pedigree of his bandmates, but he stood with them and the trio informed management of their decision. Osbourne felt betrayed and his relationship with Rhoads never fully recovered. Plans for this proposed live album crumbled upon Rhoads' sudden death weeks later, though the plan was resurrected with the release of later that year with Sarzo and Aldridge joined by guitarist .
