ANAHEIM, Calif. — To help the Los Angeles Rams kick off the 2022 NFL season, rocker Ozzy Osbourne will perform at halftime during the team’s season opener against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The appearance also comes a day ahead of the release of his 13th solo album, “Patient Number 9.”
“I’m going to be doing a bit of a medley,” the 73-year-old Black Sabbath frontman said of his SoFi performance during a phone interview this week from his home in Los Angeles. “I’m doing a little ‘Crazy Train’ and a bit of ‘Patient Number 9.’ It’s just a bit of fun really.”
Though the English singer is more of a European football fan, he said the New England Patriots have taken his hit “Crazy Train” and used it as an unofficial anthem. Back in 2005, Osbourne played at the Patriots’ NFL season opener against the then-Oakland Raiders at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts, belting out “Crazy Train” alongside guitarist Zakk Wylde during kickoff.
