Ozzy Osbourne has released professionally filmed video of his full performance at halftime of the Los Angeles Rams season opener on September 8 at SoFi Stadium. Fans in the stadium were treated to a multi-song medley from Osbourne while viewers at home saw a portion of the performance on NBC and Peac**k during halftime.
Ozzy opened with the title track of his new album, “Patient Number 9”, backed by the LP’s producer Andrew Watt on guitar, Chris Chaney on bass and Tommy Clufetos on drums. Longtime Ozzy guitarist Zakk Wylde then joined them onstage to play the singer’s classic track “Crazy Train”.
The performance came on the eve of the release of “Patient Number 9”, which arrived on Friday, September 9 on Epic. It marked Osbourne‘s first stateside performance since he took the stage alongside Post Malone and Travis Scott to perform their “Take What You Want” collaboration at the 2019 American Music Awards. Ozzy has not played a full concert since 2018.
Prior to the the halftime show, the 73-year-old Ozzy last performed in August when he made a surprise appearance at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in his former hometown of Birmingham, England. Osbourne and his BLACK SABBATH band-mate Tony Iommi (guitar),along with Adam Wakeman on bass and Tommy Clufetos on drums, performed the SABBATH classic “Paranoid” in front of a capacity crowd of 30,000 at Alexander Stadium. The special appearance was the first time Osbourne and Iommi had performed on stage together since the final BLACK SABBATH show in February 2017 in Birmingham.
