The Black Sabbath frontman died at 76, and the AFC East team expressed its gratitude for lending his music to play at Gillette Stadium.

Two-time Rock and Roll Hall of Fame superstar Ozzy Osbourne sadly passed away on Tuesday, following long battles with Parkinson's disease and cancer, plus a well-documented life of substance abuse. The metal icon was 76 years old.

In fact, ahead of the NFL's 2005 season opener, the two-time defending champion Patriots hosted Osbourne and his band in Foxborough for a live performance of the hit song. The electric rendition has since resurfaced following his death. What a performance. Gillette was going absolutely wild for the Prince of Darnkess.

The New England Patriots paid tribute to rock icon Ozzy Osbourne, the performer of their intro song "Crazy Train," after he died on Tuesday.

Osbourne’s passing also reminded Formula 1 fans of this incredible moment from the 2003 Canadian Grand Prix. Former racer-turned-broadcaster Martin Brundle, known for his pre-race “grid walks” that have become the stuff of legend, happened upon Osbourne ahead of that race.

Ozzy Osbourne's impact on music is well-known, but the former Black Sabbath front man's influence crossed over into other genres as well. Osbourne, who passed away Tuesday at the age of 76, enjoyed a successful solo career after splitting from Black Sabbath in 1979.

In a nod to the Price of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, who died at the age of 76 on Tuesday, the New England Patriots began their first period of competitive drills with Black Sabbath's infamous song "Crazy Train" blasting through the speakers.

After Ozzy Osbourne died, let's remember that time he sang Take Me Out to the Ballgame at a Chicago Cubs game.
