Now that rock legend Ozzy Osbourne has passed away, there are a lot of videos of him circulating on social media and some of them are going viral. This might be the best one.
A group of young school kids learned to play an arrangement of his hit song ‘Crazy Train’ in a band made up mostly of xylophones. At one point, they got to share their performance with the man himself and he absolutely loved it.
The moment was featured on one of Ozzy’s reality TV shows.
First, watch this school group play the song, it’s pretty impressive for a bunch of kids:

In 2018, Ozzy got to see this.
Rova reports:
As the world grieves rock royalty Ozzy Osbourne, all sorts of amazing moments from his life and career are resurfacing.
One of these is a look at what Ozzy himself called “one of the happiest days of his life” back in 2018, when he watched a group of young musicians perform a cover of his hit ‘Crazy Train’.
In an episode of ‘Ozzy and Jack’s World Detour’, a reality show the Black Sabbath frontman starred in with his son, the pair visited Louisville, Kentucky, along with Ozzy’s daughter Kelly.
There, they met the ‘Louisville Leopard Percussionists’, who treated The Osbournes to an incredible cover of ‘Crazy Train’, played on bongos, xylophones, drum sets, piano and a few maracas.
They even used train whistles at the start of the song before screaming the iconic “All aboard!” opening line.
Ozzy was obviously stoked with the performance, grinning his iconic grin, clapping his hands and turning to daughter Kelly to call it “brilliant”.
“Thank you very much,” he told the kids when they finished. “That was awesome. Absolutely awesome.”
See the video below:
What a great moment for Ozzy and all of those kids. He was one of the greats. RIP.
