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 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.

Steven Tyler and Ozzy Osbourne played together just weeks ago at a farewell concert for Osbourne in Birmingham, England.

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.

Eight days after his death, Ozzy Osbourne will make his final journey through his home city of Birmingham as fans, friends and family say goodbye. The Black Sabbath singer's body will be taken in a hearse through the city on Wednesday,
