Patriots, Blues pay tribute to legendary musician Ozzy Osbourne after singer's death at 76

Legendary metal singer and frontman Ozzy Osbourne died Tuesday. He was 76.

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."

Given the hard-rocking, energetic nature of some of his most popular songs, Osbourne made a few appearances at NFL games over his career.

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.
