<p>Legendary metal singer and frontman Ozzy Osbourne died Tuesday. He was 76.</p>
<p>Osbourne leaves behind quite the legacy. After a successful (and, at times, controversial) music career both as a solo artist and as the frontman for Black Sabbath, Osbourne was introduced to an entirely new audience on the MTV reality show "The Osbournes."</p>
<p>Given the hard-rocking, energetic nature of some of his most popular songs, Osbourne made a few appearances at NFL games over his career.</p>
<p>One of those appearances came prior to a New England Patriots game in 2005. The Patriots used Black Sabbath's "Crazy Train" to introduce its players during the team's dynasty. Prior to the team's opener in 2005, it invited Osbourne to sing the song at the stadium in person.</p>
<p>He obliged.</p>
<p>The Patriots thanked Osbourne for being the voice of that introduction in a tweet Tuesday.</p>

<p>Osbourne made a similar appearance during the Los Angeles Rams' season opener in 2022. Doing a live performance of two songs during halftime as the team took on the Buffalo Bills.</p>
<p>His sports moments weren't limited to just NFL games. In 2003, he appeared at a Chicago Cubs game, where he sang an ... interesting ... rendition of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" with his wife Sharon.</p>
<p>Osbourne also found himself connected to the St. Louis Blues thanks to an unfortunate image. In 1984, Osbourne was arrested for public intoxication. In his mugshot, Osbourne is wearing a Blues jersey. He had played in St. Louis a few days before the arrest.</p>
<p>Osbourne, however, decided to poke fun at the moment years later. When the Blues were in the midst of a playoff run in 2019, Osbourne tweeted out an image of the mugshot with the message "Let's go @StLouisBlues."</p>

<p>He later tweeted out a picture of himself wearing an Blues jersey to show he was still supporting the team. The Blues replied to that tweet Tuesday, saying, "St. Louis loves you, Ozzy. RIP."</p>
